"One (Blake's Got a New Face)" first surfaced in April 2007 on Vampire Weekend's self-titled EP, back when the band were still a name being passed around online. Ezra Koenig wrote the words, the whole band shares the music credit, and Rostam Batmanglij produced it, engineering and mixing alongside Jeff Curtin and Shane Stoneback.
That's the same team that made the debut album XL Recordings put out in January 2008, with Rostam producing from inside the band and Curtin and Stoneback helping on the mix. By then a year of online buzz had built up behind them, and the album's blend of indie pop, chamber music and Afropop gave them a sound nobody else had.
