, disbanded in 2008, and the singer-songwriter reached out to Antonoff, who had previously fronted Steel Train, and Dost, who’d played percussion and sang backup vocals for Anathallo, to collaborate on what would eventually become Fun. The trio cut their teeth touring with Jack’s Mannequin in 2008. Their first album — the indie rock-leaning, full of lively, guitar-driven bops punctuated by the occasional trumpet or vocal crescendo — dropped the following year.
While ideating around their second album, Ruess, Dost, and Antonoff were inspired by hip-hop artists like Kanye West and Jay-Z. Ruess soon realized a single songwriter-producer was the common denominator: Jeff Bhasker, whose credits include everyone from Beyoncé to Taylor Swift. Ruess managed to score five minutes of Bhasker’s time while the producer was coming through New York in early 2011. Bhasker remembers that first meeting well, mostly because he thought nothing would come of it.
