Eye New Dark
Eye New Dark, the synthpop and darkwave solo project of Null Device vocalist and keyboardist Jill Sheridan, released the five-track EP “Adore” digitally on 4 August 2026 via Bandcamp. The EP follows Sheridan’s description of the project as built on “dark melodies, synthy beats.”
‘Adore’ tracklist and prior single
“Adore” contains five tracks: “More than Perfect,” “Real Life,” “Backwards Through That Door,” “A-D-O-R-E” and “Eyes in the Dark.” The third track previously appeared as a standalone single, “Backwards Through That Door,” released 30 June 2026 with two remixes: one by Klack and one by Null Device. Those remixes are not included on “Adore,” which presents the original version of the song alongside four new tracks.
“Adore” is Eye New Dark’s second release. Sheridan introduced the project in May 2024 with the four-track “Tell Me / Smile My Dear,” which also carried remixes from Klack and Null Device.
About Eye New Dark
Eye New Dark is the solo project of Jill Sheridan, who has served as keyboardist, vocalist, songwriter and producer in Null Device since the Madison, Wisconsin band’s founding in 1995 by University of Wisconsin students Eric Oehler, Eric Goedken and Sheridan herself. Null Device moved from instrumental electronic music toward the romantic, New Order-referencing synthpop that has defined the band since, signing to Nilaihah Records in 2002 and releasing a run of albums that incorporated Arabic and Indian instrumentation before the label’s dissolution. The band went on to self-release two further records and later signed to Distortion Productions, issuing “While You Were Otherwise Engaged” in December 2016 and the eighth album, “The Emerald Age”, in November 2022.
Sheridan launched Eye New Dark alongside her continuing role in Null Device, debuting the project in May 2024 with “Tell Me / Smile My Dear.” “Adore,” released in August 2026, is the project’s first five-track EP and its second overall release.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
