"Draw a Crowd" turned up in September 2012 on The Sound of the Life of the Mind, the fourth Ben Folds Five album and the band's first release since The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner in 1999. Folds wrote it alone, words and music, as he did all but two of the album's songs, and produced it with Joe Pisapia, with Joe Costa recording and mixing. The credits put Folds on piano, Robert Sledge on bass and Darren Jessee on drums.
The reunion started small, with three new tracks cut in 2011 for a Folds retrospective. Encouraged, the band regrouped at Folds' Nashville studio and got most of the album down over six weeks at the start of 2012, then came back for separate sessions to add the lead and backing vocals.
