Released in 2007 on Epitaph sister label ANTI-, White Moth reached #30 on the US Billboard charts and earned Xavier another ARIA nomination back home. Xavier's gold-selling follow-up, White Moth, continued on this path of international success. Celebrated for Xavier's abilities to effortlessly weave genres together - from the reggae sway of The Mother, to the irresistible tribal jam of Manã - Food In The Belly impacted strongly in Australia and Europe, landing Xavier on the Dutch album charts for the first time. Only a year later, Xavier was receiving his third ARIA nomination, this time for third album Food In The Belly. Solace debuted in the top 20 of the ARIA charts and was met as an instant classic going platinum and earning Xavier two ARIA nominations, with three of its songs – Let Me Be, Shelter and Solace – voted into triple j's Hottest 100.

With a sound established, Xavier's 2004 sophomore album, Solace, was testament to the power of his songwriting abilities. Something distinctly new, yet tied back through time to the spirit of our ancestors.
