    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 don’t like looking at your face
I’m suffocating in this place - that you put me to be still
tried to bent me to your will
I love looking at your face
in every wrinkle I can trace
everything I’ve put you through, tried to turn you into

And though the flight
took you into the night - with a head full of fantasy
Awake to remember me, awake to remember me
And all the things that we expect from close proximity
We had to have it - Got to have it…

When it’s fit to be alone, away from everyone you know
you wrap around your warmest skin
your heart slows down and hums again
I don’t like looking at your face
the marks I’ve made I can’t erase
Pride, Bull-headed vanity but you alone can set me free

To say you’re cursed won’t keep you from feeling worse
or appease your dreamless sleep
Awake to remember me, awake to remember me
and all the things that we expect from close proximity
We got to have it - had to have it…

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
