David Guetta), "Who's Laughing Now?" and the Noisettes' "Don't Upset The Rhythm" and "Never Forget You".

Career

[edit]

Prior to forming The Invisible Men, Jason Pebworth and George Astasio were members of the band Orson,[1] which was considered commercially successful.

Jon Shave was a member of Xenomania.[1]

They co-produced and co-composed Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" (featuring Charli XCX).[3] The Duo also collaborated with Azalea on her US debut single, "Work", and a vast portion of Azalea's debut album The New Classic.

IIVI

[edit]

The Invisible Men also produce music under the name "IIVI".[4]  IIVI co-produced six of the seven tracks on Lil Peep's 2017 album "Come Over When You're Sober Pt. 1", as well as the majority of its follow-up "Pt. 2", alongside other stand-alone tracks including "Falling Down" (with XXXTentacion), I've Been Waiting (with iLoveMakonnen) and When I Lie (Remix) (with Ty Dolla Sign).

Pitchfork described their sound as "the 808s and rumbling basslines of trap music [combined] with the guitars of early 00s emo music to create an atmosphere that is at once hard-hitting yet bleak", mixing "emotive riffs with the slap of rap drums".[5]
