Yes it does! But it's Gothic in the truest sense of the word - very Victorian inspired. Robert Smith and Joy Division have nothing to do with this music. And in the last three or so years I (the least goth person in the world) have been coaxed into it by a few friends of mine. It's all about damnation and brimstone and redemption and carnies gone bad. It's very lyrical and story driven. You would love it I'm sure. In fact, if you'd like I could make you a sampler of sort.
The another artist I wanted to mention is a guy by the name of Andrew Bird. His older stuff in particular is completely imbedded in Jazz and Blues and country. He was the violinist for the Squirrel Nut Zippers during the 90s and since leaving them has been steadily developing a style all his own that is clearly influenced by all these things. In the past he has recorded and toured with his band "Bowl of Fire" but currently he tours alone with nothing but him, his violin, a guitar, and a glockenspiel on stage. Using a loop pedal, he puts on a show worthy of a 10 piece band.

I could go on all day, really, but apparently I'm still at work and have things to do. I hope this helps some.
