For my sound engineers…what is the defining sound effect of Jamie XX?

Please feel free to talk to me as if I’m five about sound engineering minutia but I feel like he has a particular sound, or a certain effect that is a defining quality that when I’m listening to it I’m like ah yes this is Jamie. I feel like the same goes for some of my fav other artists like Four Tet, Disclosure, Barry can’t swim, Bicep etc. Is it a reverb? A certain synth?? I’m just naming certain effects I know off the top of my head lol. But if I had to describe it it’s like…wonky? Distorting??? Feels like he’s pulling a noise apart and then letting it come back together.
