New Frank Black project “Grand Duchy”

Frank Black and his wife Violet Clark are Grand Duchy. I found a copy of the album to stream and it sounds really good. He’s traded his rough and tumble country twang rock for bass/synth/guitar goodness. V Clark’s vocals are a great counterpoint to the F Black rumble and wail. It’s out in the UK on Monday but doesn’t come out here in the US until April. Sucks for me. Until then, their MySpace has a couple of songs to stream. There will also be a 3-song digital ep from Cooking Vinyl that I will try to grab when it’s out on Feb. 16th.
