MASKS share single and video ‘Eventually’ from debut EP ‘First Life’
Anonymous synth-pop project MASKS shares the single and video “Eventually”, the third preview of self-released debut EP “First Life”, due July 10, 2026.
Synth-pop project MASKS, led by the anonymous multi-instrumentalist and producer sFox, released the single and video “Eventually” on June 9, 2026. The MASKS “Eventually” single is the third preview of the project’s debut EP “First Life”, a five-track record due for self-release on July 10, 2026.
MASKS ‘Eventually’: the single and video
“Eventually” arrives with an accompanying video, and is out now to stream and download through the project’s official link. On the writing of the track, sFox says: “When this song was coming together I kept hitting a point where the wheels were falling off, and I realized that was what actually needed to happen- to fall apart and become something new. It needed to be two completely different songs smashed together to capture all that I was feeling around it.”
sFox described the wider aim of the record as a search for feeling rather than form, commenting: “I love the idea of a record that you put on, and it changes the temperature of the room,” and adding: “I’m hunting. I’m trying to find goosebumps and to break out of what I think it’s supposed to be and allow myself to hear what it is.”
‘First Life’: the debut MASKS EP
“First Life” is the debut EP from MASKS and is due to be self-released on July 10, 2026. The five-track EP runs:
- “First Life”
- “Every Little Light”
- “Everybody Ever”
- “Eventually”
- “Never Be The Same”
“Eventually” follows two earlier previews from the EP: the title track “First Life”, which served as the project’s debut single earlier in 2026, and “Everybody Ever”.
About MASKS
MASKS is the synth-pop project of sFox, a multi-instrumentalist and producer who works anonymously and performs behind a mask. The project’s press materials describe the mask as “an ego hack to minimize distraction from their creative transmissions” rather than a means of concealment, and frame MASKS as a single artistic identity spanning music, a graphic novel and online content.
The project’s first release was the single “First Life”, issued earlier in 2026 and also the opening track of the forthcoming EP of the same name. It was followed by the single “Everybody Ever” and, on June 9, 2026, by “Eventually”. The band cites The Blue Nile, Peter Gabriel and Doves as reference points for the project’s sound. The “Eventually” single is the third track to be shared from “First Life”, which MASKS will self-release on July 10, 2026.
