Electric Tears is the ninth studio album by Buckethead. It is considered one of his most calming albums[2] in a list that would include works such as the acoustic, “Colma”. The only instruments featured on the album are acoustic and electric guitars played by Buckethead.[1] The tracks on this album are an array of soft mellow tunes as well as apathetic, ambient, and morose. Sometime in 2010, the album was released directly from Buckethead at TDRS Music but has sold out since the summer of 2012.

The album “Electric Sea” is a direct sequel to this album.
