FUN. (The Glass House)

FUN. is the collaborative effort of three musical masterminds: Nate Ruess (of The Format), Andrew Dost (of Anathallo), and Jack Antonoff (of Steel Train). A collaboration that should’ve happened much sooner that proves intellectual orchestration has a place in pop music. In other words, it’s just so good!
