“I brought the synth into the studio with Harry, flicked through the presets and there’s one called Harpoon Dream. I took the delay off and we were like… ‘yeah!’: Kid Harpoon on the Moog One preset that made Harry Styles’ As It Was

We sit down with Kid Harpoon to talk making hits and studio tricks with the Grammy-winning co-creator that everyone wants on their team.

Kid Harpoon’s genre-hopping experimentation has risen to become the sound of modern pop. While an artist in his own right since 2009, it’s Harpoon’s collaborative work, co-creating critically acclaimed hits for the likes of Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus, Jessie Ware, Florence + the Machine and Years And Years, that’s made his name.

Most famously co-writing and co-producing Harry Styles’ Harry’s House – the Album of the Year at both the Grammy and BRIT Awards – and manning the boards for Cyrus’ Grammy Record of the Year Flowers, Kid Harpoon – AKA Thomas Hull – has most recently produced the entirety of David Byrne’s 11th solo album Who Is The Sky?, released in September.

We caught up with Hull at home in LA, to talk Styles, Cyrus and studio secrets.
