The album's first singles, "Harmony Hall" and "2021", were released on January 24, with the album's full title announced.[15] The second double single, consisting of "Sunflower", featuring guitarist Steve Lacy, and "Big Blue" was released on March 6, alongside an announcement of the album's release date and artwork.[13] The final double single was released on April 4, including "This Life" and "Unbearably White"

The album's release will mark the band's first project in nearly six years, following Modern Vampires of the City (2013), and the group's first album since multi-instrumentalist and producer Rostam Batmanglij's departure from the group. The album was produced by Modern Vampires collaborator Ariel Rechtshaid and lead singer Ezra Koenig, and features numerous external collaborators, including Danielle Haim, Steve Lacy, David Longstreth, Jenny Lewis and Batmanglij.

After remaining quiet following the conclusion of their Modern Vampires tour, on January 26, 2016, Batmanglij announced his departure from the band via Twitter. He emphasised that he and Koenig would continue to collaborate.[2][3] Later the same day, Koenig announced that Vampire Weekend was in the studio working on their upcoming fourth album, with Batmanglij contributing to the record. The album's working title was revealed to be Mitsubishi Macchiato.[4]

In March 2017, Koenig revealed on Instagram that during 2016 he had spent time writing the album and researching in libraries with grad students. Additionally, he revealed that the album, still under the working title of Mitsubishi Macchiato, would feature a more 'spring-time' vibe and at the time consisted of songs entitled "Flower Moon" and "Conversation".[5] In a September 2017 interview with Zane Lowe, Ezra briefly spoke about the album and stated that it was "about 80% done". He mentioned that the album would feature collaborations with producer Ariel Rechtshaid, who had co-produced Modern Vampires, with additional guest appearances including Batmanglij.[6] In a December 2017 interview, Koenig maintained that Batmanglij was involved in a few songs, including 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. He also noted that collaborating with Kanye West had inspired him to collaborate with a wider variety of musicians on the album. In the same interview Koenig revealed that his songwriting for the album had been influenced by country singer Kacey Musgraves, stating "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 how] from the first verse, you knew who was singing, who they were singing to, what kind of situation they were in", noting that this hadn't applied to many Vampire Weekend songs.[7] On August 4, 2018, while performing at Lollapalooza 2018, Koenig announced that their fourth studio album was complete.

In a September 2017 interview, Koenig predicted the album would be released in early 2018,[6] with numerous percentage updates of the album's completion following throughout 2018.[9] In June 2018, the group debuted "Flower Moon", a collaboration with Steve Lacy, in Ojai, California as a part of their first live show in four years.[10][11] During the group's Lollapalooza after-show in August, the group debuted new music from Koenig's phone, including "Harmony Hall" and "Sunflower".[12][13]

On January 17, 2019, Koenig announced the acronym of the band's fourth album title as FOTB, and revealed that the album consisted of 18 songs, running at approximately 59 minutes. He has also announced that the album would be promoted by three monthly double A-side singles, beginning the following week.[14]

Ezra Koenig and company have made good on their word by delivering monthly (or thereabouts) two-song releases leading up to the arrival of their new double album, Father of the Bride, due out May 3 on Columbia Records. The last of those double-single drops came Thursday morning as Vampire Weekend released “This Life” and “Unbearably White,” the fifth and sixth singles from their forthcoming fourth album.

“This Life” is an incongruously carefree-sounding ode to a dysfunctional relationship (“You’ve been cheating on, cheating on me / I’ve been cheating on, cheating on you”) that boasts backing vocals from Danielle Haim, with guitar from Koenig’s Beats 1 radio show Time Crisis collaborator Jake Longstreth. Koenig and Ariel Rechtshaid produced the song with additional production from Dave Macklovitch.

“Unbearably White,” the title of which you can write your own joke about, was written by Koenig, who also produced it alongside Rechtshaid, with additional production from BloodPop. This second single of this pair is far more subdued, with Koenig sounding genuinely rueful as he sings, “Baby, I love you / But that is not enough,” using the unbearable whiteness of a snowy mountain peak as a metaphor for romantic overexposure.
Today’s new tracks follow January’s “Harmony Hall” and “2021,” and March’s “Sunflower” and “Big Blue.” Vampire Weekend have also rolled out music videos for “Harmony Hall” and “Sunflower,” directed by Emmett Malloy and Jonah Hill, respectively, during this long and active album cycle. They announced a tour in support of their new album in late January, and have since added a number of summer festival sets to their itinerary, including a performance at Glastonbury in late June.
