People always think the xx are, like, moody and all dressed in black. We do all dress in black, but we're actually quite fun people - and we've come out of our shells a lot since the first album.

When I heard Flying Lotus, I was like, 'Wow, okay, everything can be off the grid.'

XTC is my favorite band; I'm a huge Neil Young fan, Jayhawks, all that type of stuff. I like Death Cab for Cutie, also Ryan Adams. I try to impress my children: 'Have you listened to such-and-such?' They're not impressed.

I was such a huge fan of 'The X-Files.'

I like expansive stuff that has a lot of space in it, like some of the early Pink Floyd albums.

I love different eclectic bands. I love Phoenix and Kimber.

Before the first xx record, I pretty much exclusively listened to electronica. Now, I listen to anything. I think the most inspiring thing is just learning more about more and more different kinds of music and becoming a fan of so many different types and so many different genres.

I kind of go for the MGM version of every musical style.
