    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

Hurry up, the water’s moving, a river wide that never ends
Young enough to be your sister, big enough for all your friends
Here you’ll find a little castle. Make your bed and get some rest
Here you’ll find a lot of muscle to try again and do your best

Welcome to my father’s house

A mustard seed goes through the motions
wash your feet and get undressed
A pretty day to be a pilgrim, a pretty day to be a mess

Welcome to my father’s house
And I come ready to sing away everything
Come ready to sing

Holy Ghost…a little scary…shine a light on the mold.
Here you’ll find a lot of mercy
so dry your eyes and grab ahold

Welcome to my father’s house
And I come ready to sing away everything
Come ready to sing.

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
