Half a Dozen: the new album by The Big Idea. But also the number of musicians that make up the band from La Rochelle, and above all, the number of albums that can now be counted in the sextet's discography, formed in 2014. *Half a Dozen* is infused with a dark humor not previously heard from the band, likely the venomous influence of British groups like Fat White Family or Black Country New Road. Amidst increasingly noisy guitars, the brass now takes its rightful place, further strengthening The Big Idea's uniqueness within the French indie scene, with a flawlessly produced album helmed by New York producer Jeremy R. G. Snyder (Idles, Ditz, Lambrini Girls).
