They are known for their distinct and minimalist sound that blends indie rock, indie electronic, indie pop, dream pop and electro-rock, as well as the dual vocalist setup of both Croft and Sim. Their music employs soft, echoed guitar, prominent bass, light electronic beats and ambient soundscape backgrounds.
In August 2010, the xx performed at Lollapalooza along with Lady Gaga, Gogol Bordello, Social Distortion, Green Day, Drive-By Truckers, Slightly Stoopid, Mumford & Sons, The National, Switchfoot, Erykah Badu, Cypress Hill, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero.
On 13 January 2017, the xx released their third album, I See You, which debuted to critical acclaim and peaked at number one in the UK and number two on the Billboard 200.
The xx has been described as various genres, including indie rock, indie pop, indie electronic, R&B, dream pop, and electro-rock, while incorporating elements of post-punk and dance.
The band members have cited several artists as their influences. Croft said: “Jamie started out very much into soul and then, from there, moved into hip-hop and UK-based dance music. He brings some much lower frequencies of bass into the band. And then I’ve grown up listening to Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Cure. We’re really quite a huge melting pot of different stuff.”
She also had mentioned her liking for Jimi Hendrix, The Slits, Joy Division, Yazoo, Eurythmics and New Order. Croft also added that the band has been inspired by CocoRosie, The Kills and Electrelane.
When signing to their label, they discovered bands like Cocteau Twins. They also expressed admiration for Beyoncé. Sim is an avid fan of Aaliyah, with the band covering her song “Hot Like Fire”, while Croft enjoys Mariah Carey‘s music.
Their discography includes three studio albums, one remix album, five extended plays, 12 singles and 10 music videos.
