Musical style
The team calls itself a satirical art collaboration, which relies on the music, visuals, and on the show. The Little Big beats, mocks in each of its track and clip on various national stereotypes about Russia. All the videos are filmed by co-founder of the band Alina Pasok The band shoots and produces all of their own music videos.
Due to the fact that the first concert took place at the opening act for Die Antwoord, the band was immediately dubbed "The Russian Die Antwoord", and is often compared with this band. Vice also called Little Big "a Russian mental patient's answer to Die Antwoord." Other critics point out that while Little Big has an identity of its own, it also exposes the listener to Russian folk songs and Russian culture.
The band states that it was influenced by a variety of musicians, including Cannibal Corpse, Nirvana, RHCP, Rammstein, and The Prodigy, to Mozart and Vivaldi.
