Denver
Denver has produced a scene sometimes labeled "country gothic" for its stark combinations of American country and gospel music with unusual or morbid lyrical themes. The approach ranges from solemn, sometimes wrenching religious contemplation by 16 Horsepower, twisted Americana murder ballads by Munly, to rollicking, drunken, apocalyptic Southern gospel by Slim Cessna's Auto Club, all of whom have released albums on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles Records. The Denver music scene has produced several now-respected musical groups, such as DeVotchKa, who were nominated for a Grammy award for their work on the Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack. Additionally, the Elephant 6 Collective has ties to Denver. Singer/songwriter Robert Schneider and his band The Apples In Stereo lived in Denver until recently. Parts of Neutral Milk Hotel's opus, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea were recorded in Denver with Schneider producing.
