Grand Duchy is an American alternative/electronic/art rock band formed in 2008 by Black Francis (also known as Frank Black), the frontman of the Pixies, and his then-wife, musician Violet Clark. The duo blends elements of alternative rock, new wave, and electronic music, characterized by shared vocals and a mix of vintage and modern sounds. Their debut album, Petits Fours, was released in 2009 to generally positive reviews, showcasing a departure from Francis's previous work with a more experimental and synth-driven style.
