Unfinished Monkey Business is his first solo album, originally released in 1997 on Polydor\/Mercury. The record highlights Brown's distinctive, slightly world-weary vocal style and his taste for off-kilter, groove-based arrangements. He recruited friends from the British rock scene, including Oasis' Noel Gallagher, who provides backing vocals on the single \"My Star\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album blends pop songwriting with lo-fi and alternative rock textures, moving Brown away from the Stone Roses' jangly psychedelic sound into a more personal, groove-driven aesthetic. Standout tracks include My Star, Can't See Me, Corpses in Their Mouths and the title track Unfinished Monkey Business, which showcase both catchy hooks and experimental touches. Brown produced and mixed much of the record himself, giving it a raw, immediate feel that balances melodic accessibility with rough-edged production. This release helped establish Ian Brown's solo identity and remains a key document of late-90s British alternative music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced and mixed by Ian Brown.
