The band consists of Romy Madley Croft (guitar, vocals), Oliver Sim (bass

They are known for their distinct and minimalist sound that blends indie rock,
indie electronic, indie pop, dream pop and electro-rock and the dual vocalist
setup of both Croft and Sim. Their music employs soft, echoed guitar, prominent
bass, light electronic beats and ambient soundscape backgrounds.

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 in 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 XX have been inspired by CocoRosie,
The Kills and Electrelane.
When signing to their label, they discovered bands like Cocteau Twins. They also

while Croft enjoys Mariah
Carey's music.
