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”
- “Every Little Light”

“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.
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.
