http://www.unfinishedthought.com http://www.ifyouexist.net Unfinished Thought Exits [EP] Produced and Recorded by Joe Kiser Shiverstar Records 2005 Original Release Date: November 29, 2005 If you think that just simply listening to the EXITS EP is brilliant and musically genuine, then you absolutely must listen to the EP while viewing the IF YOU EXIST website. The in depth story line Joe has put forth over the past few years with Unfinished Thoughts full length releases is breaking all previous preconceived limits anyone may have had about this band. Joe’s brilliant ideas have breached, not only through his music with Stacey, but have broken through the unseen lines of conscience with his written word. The two original tracks, Illuminata and The Eternal Shade Theory (part 1) show another incredible leap forward with their dark, alternative rock. Stacey’s ever angelic vocals emote a more genuinely ethereal aural experience from the first chords of the EP. Coupled with Joe’s seemingly infinite progress with the passively aggressive music he continues to take to new levels, Unfinished Thought have yet again broken new ground with the genre these two young persons have helped bring to the forefront of independent musicians. There really is nothing I can say about the four “cover songs” also included on the release. Each track had become a classic since its original release and it’s amazing to hear this kind of interpretation, especially with the fact that.  Hearing Unfinished Thought’s renditions of “Good Evening” and “I’m Not In Love” almost brought me to tears. Stacey has truly been blessed with her vocal talents. She breathes effortlessly through “Come Undone” and “Head Over Heals”, even though their initial versions were sung in the more baritone and alto male voices. If EXITS foreshadows even just a piece of how their third full length release will be, this band will soon be destined to follow in the foot steps of so many of their inspirations. http://www.unfinishedthought.com http://www.ifyouexist.net Stacey Kiser: Vocals, Piano Joe Kiser: Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, Programming Additional Guitars and Keyboards on Tracks 1, 3, 5 & 6 by Nate Nelson Artwork and Photography by Heather Stratton Track Listing: 1.
