Per Variety.

Wrote and performed Behind a Wall of Sleep (YouTube) and other great dark hits.

He's the one in shades, of course.

Quintessential ‘90s sound.

ETA: I know they pre-date the ‘90s, but they seeme to have much more in common with that tine period.

Had no idea who this was even after listening to the song you posted. Should have picked “girl like you”.

I believe it, saw them twice and after a few songs he would just talk to the audience almost like a Q and A.

Saw them twice in New Orleans back in the day. Great band. Post on Music Board perhaps? Might find a few more fans there.

Rest in peace. That's rough.
