Unfortunitely 'Grand Duchy' may have slipped under the radar to a lot of 'Pixies' fans... however, this would not only keep 'Pixies' fans happy, but fans of all alternative rock. 'Grand Duchy' is a project for (Frank Black) Black Francis and his wife Violet Clark. They released their debut album 'Petits Fours' in 2009. It was one of my surprises of that year. Black Francis and Violet Clark work so well together and share the lead vocals throughout the album. They also played all the instruments themselves... including a synth pop aspect, courtesy of Violet Clark. There is everything a keen Black Francis and Pixies fan would expect as well. "Fort Wayne" was their first song (leaked on the internet) and was the template for a fantastic album to follow.
