Stephen Huss (August 19, 1967 – August 2, 2015)[1] was a founding member of the Canadian dark synthpop band Psyche.[2]

Career

Stephen Huss formed Psyche in 1981 with his brother Darrin Huss. He was unable to continue in live performance after 1989 due to his ongoing struggle with schizophrenia.[3] He continued recording with the band into the early 90's, after Darrin had relocated to Germany, but discontinued songwriting with the band after the release of "Intimacy" in 1994.[4][5] He had kept a relatively low profile since that time, but had released three solo albums released in the 2000s followed by a fourth, posthumously released by his brother on what would have been his 48th birthday.[6]

Solo discography

He has released four solo albums. The albums are largely instrumental. The second, Lost Oasis, featured guest vocals on "Conjure" by his brother Darrin Huss.[7]
