Autumn draws influence for her music—the style of which she has alternatively labeled as "Victoriandustrial" and glam rock—from plays, novels, and history, particularly the Victorian era. Performing with her all-female backing band The Bloody Crumpets, Autumn incorporates elements of classical music, cabaret, electronica, and glam rock with theatrics, and burlesque.
Growing up in Malibu, California, she began learning the violin at the age of four and left regular school five years later with the goal of becoming a world-class violinist; she practiced eight or nine hours a day and read a wide range of literature. Progressing to writing her own music, she studied under various teachers and went to Indiana University, which she left over issues regarding the relationship between classical music and the appearance of the performer. Through her own independent label Traitor Records, Autumn debuted with her classical album On a Day: Music for Violin & Continuo, followed by the release in 2003 of her album Enchant.
She appeared in singer Courtney Love's backing band on her 2004 America's Sweetheart tour and returned to Europe. She released the 2006 album Opheliac with the German label Trisol Music Group. In 2007, she released Laced/Unlaced; the re-release of On a Day... appeared as Laced with songs on the electric violin as Unlaced. She later left Trisol to join New York-based The End Records in 2009 and release Opheliac in the United States, where previously it had only been available as an import. Currently she is on tour to promote her newest album Fight Like A Girl. She played the role of Painted Doll in Darren Lynn Bousman's 2012 film The Devil's Carnival.

I remember seeing her in concert for the first time. it was the first show I was motivated to go to. Must've been 14 or so, Seattle at Studio 7. I remember my schizophrenia really acting up during the show which made it fucking magical. My autistic friend and I must've spent the entire show utterly entranced by her, mouth open in awe. The messages resonated in my young skull so hard that it shook me and wrung what little dopamine and serotonin in my brain and for the first time in awhile, I was happy. Before anything made sense, before things got better, and before I knew how I worked, her work was always an inspiration into a new day or a macabre comfort in old habits. I ended up standing in the rain with my friend for hours to see her. when she saw us, she exclaimed at how beautiful we were and through a shoddy eyeliner job and wayward cupcake frosting, we both actually felt beautiful, for this fairy queen thought us worthy of such a title.

Jack Dresden that is beautiful as you are and I'm pretty I'd be shook if I saw her too keep it up with whatever you do!

You know you've hit the jackpot when the music you're listening to incorporates an insane harpsichord and electric violin shredding!
Emma Smith
This is pure magic right here. She has somehow perfectly captured all the emotions of manic depression/depression in music. It is simply amazing.
Spooky Bird
I'm so devastated she barely plays her violin now.... Her current work is still amazing but it's a waste of such pure talent for her not to embrace it completely any more.

Electric violins are rare to see on stage as is 💔

I saw her in concert about a year ago. The concert was amazing and I loved every minute of it. But, I was kind of sad that I left without seeing her play.

I love this song because if I could put my thoughts of depression and everything i feel with it into a song this is it. the parts that people are saying give them a headache I think are meant too. it's symbolic to what your thoughts and mood goes through with depression. it's the loud dark thoughts that keep screaming at you. idk. great song.

Emilie is amazing! She finds inspiration in many things like poems, plays, and history to but, also she found inspiration through her experience with bipolar disorder heard in Swallow, Misery Loves Company, and yes Manic Depression.
