This cross-pollination pioneered a genre-defying substyle variously labeled “gothic country,” “gothic Americana,” and, within Denver’s fertile 1990s alternative scene, “The Denver Sound”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"593\" data-end=\"1073\"\u003eWith a core trio of \u003cstrong data-start=\"613\" data-end=\"637\"\u003eDavid Eugene Edwards\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"657\"\u003eJean Yves Tola\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong data-start=\"662\" data-end=\"680\"\u003ePascal Humbert\u003c\/strong\u003e consistently at the helm, a shifting cast of collaborators, and a restless drive to push boundaries, they left behind an unmistakable sonic and thematic fingerprint.
