    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

Take me into the woods unknown
Far, far from
familiar sound
Love, burn me down

Pull me up from this river
Moving slow
deep in the ground
Love, burn me down

Calling up to my father
For wasted pride
I cannot redeem
Love wash me clean

You are stronger than hunger,
I pay no fine
for self pity or greed.
Love wash me clean.

I am dry leaves and paper
Wretched mouth
that cannot be pleased
Love, make me free

I am steely skyscraper
Eye-sore so
cursed to be seen
Love, make me free

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
