Autumn Tears is an American neoclassical darkwave project formed in Billerica, Massachusetts in 1995 by Erika T. Swinnich and Ted Tringo. Their music combines operatic vocals, orchestral arrangements, and ancient-chant influences, drawing comparisons to Dead Can Dance and Enya. Since their 1996 debut "Love Poems for Dying Children, Act I," the project has released several full-length albums, including 2025's "Crown of the Clairvoyant," and remains a fixture of the Projekt Records darkwave roster.
