There's paying homage to the sounds that came before you, and then there's straight-up biting the innovators of old. When it comes to the throwback sound of the new Minneapolis duo, Grand Courriers, they may have hints of countryside influences and infused folk-rock from the '60s in their sound, but there's no mimicking here, because, as personified on their enlightening debut, "Rejoice", we find the duo meshing the particular imprints of old with a new, polished look. "Rejoice" is their debut, and, in addition to serving as a necessary effort to mix up your daily musical intake, it's more than enough to generate excitement for what's to come from the duo in the future.
