Anonymous synth-pop project MASKS has released the new single and video for “Everybody Ever,” offering another preview of the upcoming debut EP First Life, which arrives July 10, 2026.
Los Angeles-based synth-pop project MASKS has shared its latest single, “Everybody Ever,” continuing the rollout for the debut EP First Life, scheduled for self-release on July 10, 2026. Accompanied by a new music video, the track offers a deeper look into the immersive creative world being built by the project's creator, multi-instrumentalist and producer sFox.
MASKS stands apart through both its sound and presentation. The artist behind the project performs behind a mask, using anonymity as a way to shift attention away from identity and toward the creative work itself. Music forms one part of a larger universe that also includes visual storytelling, online content, and an accompanying graphic novel.
“Everybody Ever” follows the release of the project's debut single, “First Life,” which introduced listeners to MASKS' blend of electronic textures, organic instrumentation, and emotionally driven songwriting. The new track expands on those ideas while exploring the impact that certain people can have on the lives of those around them. Its themes focus on connection, appreciation, and the often-unseen influence individuals can carry.
Musically, the song combines atmospheric synths, layered arrangements, and melodic hooks with a sense of movement that gradually unfolds over time. Like the project's earlier material, “Everybody Ever” balances intimacy and scale, creating a listening experience that feels both personal and cinematic.
The upcoming First Life EP is described as an entry point into the larger MASKS universe. Drawing inspiration from artists such as The Blue Nile, Peter Gabriel, and Doves, the five-song release explores the space between electronic and organic sounds while emphasizing mood, imagery, and emotional resonance. Rather than presenting straightforward narratives, the songs invite listeners to immerse themselves in the atmosphere they create.
Across the EP, sFox explores contrasts between stillness and momentum, familiarity and discovery. The production blends synthetic textures with grounded musical elements, creating a sound that feels contemporary while maintaining a strong emotional core.
With “Everybody Ever” now available, anticipation continues to build for First Life. As MASKS prepares to release its debut collection of songs, the project offers a distinctive vision that extends beyond music alone, inviting listeners into a carefully crafted world of sound, story, and imagination.
