After the Masquerade CD

Shaela Miller has long been recognized for her exceptional contributions to the country genre. Throughout her career, she has consistently delivered captivating records with authentic country instrumentation that resonates with fans of the genre. Her latest album, "After The Masquerade” (March 2024), marks a significant departure from her traditional sound, as it embraces a more synth-wave cosmic country sound. However, Shaela Miller's decision to record the songs from "After The Masquerade" with country lyricism, melody and a drier, rootsy vocal effect is a deliberate choice to pay homage to her past work while showcasing these new production elements.

This album introduces a captivating shift towards alternative-pop, incorporating influences from iconic bands like The Cure and Depeche Mode. By seamlessly blending the ethereal sounds of synth with the unmistakable twang of pedal steel guitar, Shaela has crafted a truly unique fusion of musical elements and inspirations.

In this new venture, Shaela Miller explores uncharted territory, experimenting with a sonic palette that diverges from her country and roots origins. "After the Masquerade" promises to be a musical journey that transcends traditional genre boundaries, taking listeners on an exciting ride through a world of dreamy synthscapes and the evocative resonance of pedal steel.
