Uncle Dysfunktional is the fifth studio album by English rock band Happy Mondays. It was released by Sequel Records on 2 July 2007. After the band reunited in 2004, they toured into 2005; by 2006, a new album was recorded with producer Sunny Levine. Initial sessions were held at The Studiosound in Rochdale and Make It Nice Studio in Leicester with Dave Parkinson, before moving to Moolah Rogue Studios in Stockport with Levine. Uncle Dysfunktional is an electro-funk record, with influences from country and hip hop.
Uncle Dysfunktional received generally mixed reviews from music critics, some enjoyed it more than they expecting to, while others found it to be uninspired and lacking direction. Its release was preceded by an appearance at Coachella Festival in the United States, and a two-month tour of the United Kingdom. "Jellybean" was released as the lead single from the album on 16 July 2007. Another UK tour followed, which led into an excursion to mainland Europe towards the end of the year. During this, a remix of "Dysfunktional Uncle" was released as the album's second single on 29 October 2007.
