Stiltskin, a Scottish rock band formed in 1989, was led by frontman Ray Wilson. The band achieved widespread popularity in the mid-1990s with their debut single "Inside", which topped the UK Singles Chart in 1994. This success followed the release of the British Levi's television advertisement "Creek," for which multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Peter Lawlor had written the music. The Ambrosian Singers contributed to the choir-like intro vocals on "Inside". Stiltskin released their debut album, The Mind's Eye, in October 1994, which achieved silver record status in the UK and sold well throughout Europe. Despite critical acclaim in the US, where "Inside" reached number 37 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, the band struggled with follow-up success. Their second single, "Footsteps", peaked at number 34 in the UK. The original lineup disbanded in 1996 during the recording of their uncompleted second album. Ray Wilson went on to join Genesis and later formed Cut_ in 1999. In 2005, Wilson revived Stiltskin with a new lineup, releasing the album She in 2006 and touring extensively. Subsequent albums included Unfulfillment, released in 2011.
