Ray Wilson/Stiltskin Track From Their Forthcoming Album Leaked On YouTube
 

Click the box to the right to listen to "American Beauty" from Ray Wilson and Stiltskin's forthcoming studio album, Unfulfillment. The album, as previously reported, will be out this September. The song definitely sounds far more pop orientated than the harder rock edge of their last album, She. Give it a listen! The accompanying clip appears to have the album art included as well, which is our first glimpse of the packaging. I'm sure we'll see more on Ray's new project in the coming weeks.
