Unfinished Monkey Business

Ian Brown

A murky, self-produced debut of street-level psychedelia. Lo-fi beats and deadpan vocals create a defiant, late-night atmosphere born from the ashes of a legendary band.

January 14, 1998 · Polydor

A defiant and murky urban crawl that balances deep-seated resentment with a newfound sense of freedom.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, space-age synth whistle that carries the melody of My Star over a shuffling beat.
The heavy, menacing bassline of Can't See Me that feels like a direct challenge to a former friend.
The transition into the extended, psychedelic jam of Come Again that closes the album in a hazy wash.
