    Cool is the 6th studio album by Seela, a veteran Austin singer/songwriter/performer and back-up singer. Though she’s always had deep involvement in the recording process in the past, she has also always had a producer to fall back on. This time Seela took the reins and self-produced the record she wanted to hear.

    The songs, some she has been playing live for years, pay no loyalty to any particular style but are the result of her many influences: The Police, Spoon, Anita O’ Day, Heart, Steely Dan, and Bowie to name a few. Pop, Rock, Folk, Gospel and Jazz have all been a part of her 20+ year career as an Austin musician and Cool lets it show.

    Backed by her solid-as-a-rock drummer/husband Jon Greene (Patty Griffin, Fastball, Jaimee Harris), her nephew Andrew Casile on guitar, Andrew Pressman (Jimmy LaFave, Nancy & Beth, Anthony DaCosta) on bass, as well as an impressive handful of Austin’s finest, Seela and engineer Britton Beisenherz have created a lush and catchy thirteen-track universe. With gorgeous harmonies and the occasional playful treatment, each song on Cool hits all the right spots.

    This CD comes in a lovely gatefold card case as well as a 6 panel lyric booklet with artwork by Seela.

about

This was another Song Game Song. The title given was “Peripheral Vision.” I worked on it a little bit and put it away until the last minute once the chorus came to me. The demo is recorded with just acoustic guitar and vocals, but I had the whole arrangement in my head and hoped I would one day get to put it on a record. I feel like the players nailed it and I’m so pleased with it that I made it the title.

lyrics

You don’t like a fuss
You don’t wanna have to figure it out
And you don’t want to hang around
You like to keep moving

You’ll hang out with us
If it seems like the sound is right
You can step out or stay all night
You can take it or leave it
You’re so…

You’ve got no regrets
You’ve got places you wish you knew
And you’ve go people you’re headed too
But you don’t wanna seem hasty

And I am not a guest
It seems a decision been made
In your peripheral vision I’ll stay
Until you happen to face me

You’re so cool…

When she closed her eyes
Yeah, everything changed for me
Night right away but eventually
Now I see cleaner and clearer
And I don’t like a fuss
I don’t wanna have to figure you out
And you don’t want to hang around
Yeah, you’ll do as you please

You’re so cool…

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
