    Between her local 1995 debut Probably Lucy and its follow-up three years later, Something Happened, Seela Misra evolved from a standard ATX singer-songwriter to a sultry indie rock diva. Nearly 20 years later, on her fifth album Track You Down, the singer revisits that initial vulnerability with a collection venturing through gospel rollicks, folk-laden rolls, jangling pop, and acoustic ruminations. She still transitions from breezy timbres and slightly rasped altos to bare-boned coos, but now her vocal conviction untangles the Canadian import's sinewy melancholia. Biblical trifecta "Love, Burn Me Down," "Ready to Sing," and "Brave" unfold parables wherein the narrator is burned and baptized by love: born as a mustard seed in her "father's house," bowed at a congregation pew, and praying with clasped hands, respectively. Seela bears her revelations in crystalline detail, proving strength in the transformative power of faith. -The Austin Chronicle

lyrics

I’m a tired dog, an empty field
a place where nothing grows
I’m the ocean floor, a mountain top
a thing nobody knows
I’m a broken lamp, from a broken home
a tiny, shining star
I’m a lawbreaker, a sturdy friend
an insect in a jar

and I wanna say I’m sorry
you’ve already paid for what I’ve done
I wanna say thank you
but thank you’s not enough
I wanna say something, but I’m at a loss
I wanna say something

Could I find joy in a simple thing
if it was what I was tasked to do?
Can I change my mind about everything
without walking in somebody’s shoes?
Can I call a friend who’s let me down
just to ask if they’re ok?
Can I shut my mouth and risk my heart
when I think I’ve been betrayed?

about

seela Austin, Texas

Born to exhausted Indian immigrants on a mild, summer eve, Seela had an average childhood battling the forces of evil with her superhuman strength. On quality meals of Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, Fozy Bear, & U2, she flourished in nerdy-ness, topping off @ 5’3″. Though songwriting has yet to lead to fame & fortune, opportunity, adventure, & delight have yet to cease. ... more
