Harris also co-wrote and co-produced several tracks on Pylon with The 1975’s Matty Healy.
The album debuted at No. 1 on both the UK’s Official Albums Chart and Australia’s ARIA Albums Chart, and reached the top 10 on the US Top 200 albums chart.
His other executive production credits include Keni Titus’ debut project, mud on my superstars, and her song “juliet.” He has also produced singles for Role Model, Eli, Juliet Ivy, Emory, and The Army, The Navy.
