The band members met while enrolled at <a href="Columbia_University" title="Columbia University">Columbia University</a>, beginning with a <a href="Rapping" title="Rapping">rap</a> collaboration between Koenig, Tomson, and Koenig's roommate Andrew Kalaidjian named "L'Homme Run".<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> They bonded over a shared love of <a href="Punk_rock" title="Punk rock">punk rock</a> and <a href="Music_of_Africa" title="Music of Africa">African music</a>. Koenig toured with <a href="The_Dirty_Projectors" class="mw-redirect" title="The Dirty Projectors">Dirty Projectors</a> during a period of experimentation with African music, inspiring the band to incorporate <a href="World_music" title="World music">world sounds</a> into their earliest work.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> The band chose the name "Vampire Weekend" from the title of a short film project Koenig worked on during the summer between freshman and sophomore years in college.<a href="#cite_note-Artist_Direct-12">[12]</a> While home for the summer, Koenig watched the 1987 vampire film <a href="The_Lost_Boys" title="The Lost Boys">The Lost Boys</a> and was inspired to make a <a href="Northeastern_United_States" title="Northeastern United States">Northeastern</a> version of the film in which a man named Walcott travels to <a href="Cape_Cod" title="Cape Cod">Cape Cod</a> to warn the mayor that vampires are attacking the United States.<a href="#cite_note-Artist_Direct-12">[12]</a> Koenig abandoned the project after two days before editing the footage into a two-minute trailer during his senior year.<a href="#cite_note-Artist_Direct-12">[12]</a> The band began playing shows around Columbia University, starting with a battle of the bands at <a href="Alfred_Lerner_Hall" title="Alfred Lerner Hall">Lerner Hall</a> in 2006.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> After graduating from college, the band self-produced their debut album while simultaneously working full-time jobs, Tomson as a music archivist and Koenig as a middle school English teacher.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a>

In 2007, Vampire Weekend's song "<a href="Cape_Cod_Kwassa_Kwassa" title="Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa">Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa</a>" was ranked 67th on Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Best Songs of the Year".<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> In November 2007, they toured the UK with <a href="The_Shins" title="The Shins">The Shins</a>.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a>

The then-nascent influence of blog hype and internet buzz played a role in their success and led to a large prerelease following sufficient to support them performing on three tours before their debut album was released.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> They were declared "The Year's Best New Band" by <a href="Spin_(magazine)" title="Spin (magazine)">Spin</a> magazine in the March 2008 issue, and were the first band to be shot for the cover of the magazine before releasing their debut album.<a href="#cite_note-graduates-20">[20]</a> The band made a television appearance on <a href="The_Late_Show_with_David_Letterman" class="mw-redirect" title="The Late Show with David Letterman">The Late Show with David Letterman</a> on February 1, 2008,<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> and on March 8, 2008, performed on <a href="Saturday_Night_Live" title="Saturday Night Live">Saturday Night Live</a>.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> Four songs from the band's first album also made the <a href="Triple_J_Hottest_100%2C_2008" title="Triple J Hottest 100, 2008">Triple J Hottest 100, 2008</a>. The internet hype had its backlash, however, as critics reacted against a perceived image of Vampire Weekend as privileged, upper-class Ivy League graduates stealing from foreign musicians. One critic went so far as to call Vampire Weekend the "whitest band in the world", to which they took exception, given their Ukrainian, Persian, Italian, and Hungarian heritages.<a href="#cite_note-Telegraph-23">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-Altmusic.about.com-24">[24]</a> Koenig responded in a November 2009 interview by saying, "Nobody in our band is a <a href="White_Anglo-Saxon_Protestant" class="mw-redirect" title="White Anglo-Saxon Protestant">WASP</a>."<a href="#cite_note-Altmusic.about.com-24">[24]</a> Saying the backlash involving their social backgrounds was largely unfounded, Koenig claimed he paid for Columbia with a scholarship and student loans; he himself was still paying off student loans in 2009.<a href="#cite_note-Altmusic.about.com-24">[24]</a>

After concluding their Modern Vampires tour in September 2014, Vampire Weekend went silent until January 26, 2016, when it was announced that Rostam Batmanglij had left the band. Despite his departure, he and Ezra Koenig planned to continue collaborating.<a href="#cite_note-53">[53]</a><a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> On the same day, Koenig revealed the band was in the studio working on their fourth album, at the time titled, Mitsubishi Macchiato, with Batmanglij contributing to it.<a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> In late January 2016, the band supported <a href="Bernie_Sanders" title="Bernie Sanders">Bernie Sanders</a> by performing at an Iowa rally just before the <a href="2016_United_States_presidential_election" title="2016 United States presidential election">primaries</a>. Filling in for Batmanglij and Chris Baio, who was touring for his solo project, the band performed with members <a href="David_Longstreth" title="David Longstreth">David Longstreth</a> and <a href="Nat_Baldwin" title="Nat Baldwin">Nat Baldwin</a> of Dirty Projectors, <a href="Jake_Longstreth" title="Jake Longstreth">Jake Longstreth</a>, the comedy duo the Lucas Brothers, and an all-female a cappella group from the <a href="University_of_Iowa" title="University of Iowa">University of Iowa</a>.<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> Koenig, a vocal Sanders supporter, also promoted the candidate on social media and his <a href="Beats_1" class="mw-redirect" title="Beats 1">Beats 1</a> radio show, <a href="Time_Crisis_with_Ezra_Koenig" title="Time Crisis with Ezra Koenig">Time Crisis</a>.<a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a> In April 2016, the band briefly performed at another Sanders rally in Washington Square Park, marking their debut as a trio, joined again by Longstreth.<a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a>

In late 2016, Koenig was reportedly in talks to sign the band with <a href="Columbia_Records" title="Columbia Records">Columbia Records</a>, as he reportedly "hit it off" with executive Rob Stringer.<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a><a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a> Initially, this news was regarded a rumor, until the band's website revamp in 2018, in which a <a href="Sony_Music" class="mw-redirect" title="Sony Music">Sony Music</a> copyright appeared on the site.<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a>

In March 2017, Koenig revealed in an elaborate Instagram update that during 2016 he had spent countless hours researching and writing music in libraries with grad students. Additionally, he revealed that the album, given the working title of "Mitsubishi Macchiato", would feature a more 'spring-time' vibe and one of the songs would be entitled Flower Moon. Koenig revealed that LP4 would be partially inspired by the songwriting of country singer, <a href="Kacey_Musgraves" title="Kacey Musgraves">Kacey Musgraves</a>, after he attended one of her shows in September 2016. In an interview with <a href="Stereogum" title="Stereogum">Stereogum</a>, he stated, "I'm the type of person who has spent hours poring over the avant-garde poetic lyrics of certain songwriters, and there was something that felt so good [about Musgraves' songs and how] from the first verse, you knew who was singing, who they were singing to, what kind of situation they were in. After the show I realized there's not a ton of Vampire Weekend songs where you could listen to the first verse and immediately answer the question of who's singing and who are they singing to."<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a> Furthermore, in a September 2017 interview with <a href="Zane_Lowe" title="Zane Lowe">Zane Lowe</a>, Ezra briefly spoke about LP4 and stated that it was "about 80% done." He mentioned that the album would feature lead producer <a href="Ariel_Rechtshaid" title="Ariel Rechtshaid">Ariel Rechtshaid</a> with additional "guest appearances", one of which being Batmanglij.<a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a> Lowe pushed Koenig for a release date, citing Q1 2018 as a likely candidate. In a December 2017 interview, Koenig noted that Batmanglij was involved in a few songs, some of which was material that they had started working on long ago, and that their method of collaboration had not changed despite the latter's departure from the band.<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a>
