    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

Faith, come bring me home
I’ve been away too long, and I’m more than ready to let you into my heart.
I don’t wanna be alone
Left with my rights & wrongs
And I’m sure you’re not the phantom I thought you were

I was only emptying to fill with disappointment
now I’m not feeling anything but failure eating me up

Faith, come hold me down
I keep on floating away
I am tossed into the air with the slightest touch
Burn this paper crown, wash my filth away
And present me to the king in whom I’ll put my trust


Once dumb and beholden to everything untrue
I wanna be certain of your promise to never give up


Faith, I’m giving in
You can take it from here
I’m hoping I’ll be putty in your hands
Yeah, I hope you win
You’ve made it oh, so clear
you have little interest in my stupid plans.

My intentions varying …so out of control
I’m not trusting anything
Oh but (good) true love holding me up.

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
