Artist description Driven by delicate vocal harmonies and compulsive guitar playing, the music of ethereal rock duo Unfinished Thought creates a layered atmosphere that is both fragile and haunting. With arrangements ranging from full on industrial to orchestrated dark rock, their debut album Becoming Aware delivers deceptively beautiful musical textures while exploring themes such as mental illness, obsession, addiction, and depression.

Press Reviews "Imagine if William Orbit and Trent Reznor produced the Cure albums of the late 80's. Add in female vocals and maybe the picture is a little more complete..... Kiser is happy to use keyboard washes of all sorts: some warm, some harsh and some almost indescribably beautiful. He refuses to follow the book, and so the sounds here are fresh and unexpected..... Kiser and Nelson have put together an album of uncommon beauty and power. If you want to know where electronic music is going, this disc might give you a clue." -Jon Worley, Aiding & Aibetting www.cent.com/abetting/ "Emerging from a backdrop of mood-defining music is the voice of a Siren, attempting to lure listeners into the treacherous depths of mental instability. Thought-provoking lyrics and emotional industrial music join a piano and guitars in a creative journey through troubled psyches. This gifted though likely disturbed duo combine some unlikely elements to create a lulling schizophrenic experience. Stacey Nelson's voice is pure as a virgin as it explores the darker parts of human nature to the groove of haunting melodies. Not for the clinically depressed." -Sarah Byrnes, Recoil Magazine "Becoming Aware is a masterpiece in the dark. Heavy guitar jamming intertwined with harmonious vocals reaches a medium that is inexplicable. The talented duo from Kalamazoo, MI form an intense electronic and industrial rock sound. Song titles such as 'Lack of Days' and 'My Valentine's Last Breath' are just a few examples of the profound tracks on the album. While the lyrics touch on deep subjects ranging from mental illness to addiction, this CD is sure to leave you in a state of deep and unfinished thought." -Melissa Hill, Music Revue Magazine
