By the Numbers
Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim write every lyric; the music on all eleven tracks is credited to the two of them with Jamie Smith and Baria Qureshi. It is the only album with Qureshi's name on it, which makes the debut the one record where four people wrote the music, and the last before the band became a trio.
xx is The xx's debut, released in August 2009 on Young Turks and produced by the band with Rodaidh McDonald. It reached number three in the UK, topped The Guardian's albums of the year list, and won the Mercury Prize in 2010. Baria Qureshi left the band shortly after it came out.
