Special thanks to all the people involved in this very stressful but rewarding project…THANK YOU
SMU Alumnus, Rupak George (Guitar/Bass), together with 3 friends, Seyra, Khidir and Zack, came together to form this mesmerizingly chill post-rock band.
Seyra – actually the name of the girl who writes and sings with accompanying musicians – has been compared to Corrine Bailey Rae or Zee Avi but they’re neither flamboyant like Rae nor have an overly optimistic sound like Avi. What Seyra does best is spicing up what would otherwise be simple bittersweet acoustic tunes through clever pop arrangements and a myriad of instruments including the occasional electric guitars and a cajon – this is music that can feed geeky-hippy-indie-emo chicks.
The band, despite just forming early this year, have already released an self-titled EP, “Seyra” which you can purchase over at their bandcamp website for just $8 or download for FREE.
The band will be playing at this year’s Baybeats 2011.
I highly recommend you guys to check them out. At the very least, listen to their track ‘Goodnight’. You won’t regret it. If you like it, do support them by purchasing their EP.
