'Petits Fours', is the debut album from Grand Duchy, aka Violet Clark and Black Francis.

Featuring 9 tracks, the album is the joint venture between (husband and wife) Clark and Francis, and contains driving bass lines, a healthy dose of synths and some excellent vocals from Clark, alongside Francis' trademark guitar squalls.
