The xx are an English indie rock band formed in Wandsworth, London, in 2005. The band members include Romy Madley Croft (guitar, vocals), Oliver Sim (bass guitar, vocals), and Jamie Smith, also known as Jamie xx (beats, MPC, record production). They are recognized for their minimalist sound, which combines elements of indie rock, indie electronic, indie pop, dream pop, and electro-rock. Their music features soft echoed guitar, prominent bass, light electronic beats, and ambient soundscapes. The band was formed when Madley Croft and Sim were students at Elliott School, with Baria Qureshi (keyboard, guitar) and Smith joining in 2006. The name "the xx" was chosen because the band liked the way it looked written down. After posting demos on Myspace, they gained attention from the Beggars Group-owned label Young Turks (now Young). Collaborating with producer Rodaidh McDonald, they released their debut album, xx, in August 2009.
