Mother Juno is an album by the Gun Club, released in 1987.[4][5] It was produced by Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins.

"Yellow Eyes" was originally entitled "Funky Junkie"; "Nobody's City" was originally "Sleepy Times Blues". The original recordings of Mother Juno were released as Mother Berlin in 2015 on Bang! Records, containing an additional track, "Country One".[6]

In 2023, Mother Juno was re-released with remastered tracks, including 12” single versions of the songs “The Breaking Hands”, “Crabdance”, and “Nobody’s City”. Additional demos are included from the aforementioned Mother Berlin sessions.

The album did well on the independent and college charts, peaking at No. 3 on the UK indie and No. 1 on the CMJ charts.[8]

Trouser Press wrote: "On songs like 'The Breaking Hands' ... producer Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins spins a delicately layered web of sound; more straightforward numbers like the shimmying 'Thunderhead' recast the old energy in slightly more linear terms, although guest Blixa Bargeld does his best to tilt 'Yellow Eyes' on its axis."[1] The Rolling Stone Album Guide called the album "swamp music for thinking people."[13]
