fun.'s Andrew Dost Scores Jack Black Film 'The D Train' with Music from INXS, Jack Antonoff & More

The film, which stars Black as Dan Landsman, a less-than-cool man who's attempting to get Marsden's Oliver Lawless to attend their high school reunion with him, in order to finally achieve popularity. The dark comedy throws back to the '80s, which Dost took inspiration from when composing the score.

"The directors Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul, absolutely had a clear vision," Dost said in a press release. "They knew right away that they wanted a synthesizer-driven, John Hughes-esque score. We tried a few different ideas anyway - a western, Morricone style sound, for example - but when we landed back on the synthesizers we knew it was the way to go."

The soundtrack not only features original compositions from Dost, but curated songs from The Vapors, Foreigner, INXS and even Dost's own fun. bandmate Jack Antonoff, who worked on him with the album's lead single "A Million Stars."
