Review: Minnesota Album 'Is Stunningly Beautiful'

Henry Carrigan for No Depression Magazine

The opening track on Alice Peacock’s Minnesota, “Love Goes with You,” is a harbinger of the subtle and simple beauty of the entire album. The song opens with Peacock’s and Derri Daugherty’s crystalline a cappella plea — “What does it mean when you say goodbye?” — before a snare shot opens into a shuffling, pop-inflected ballad laid down by shimmering vocals that create a cascading wall of sound. The song explores loving, leaving, and the fleeting nature of time and relationships.
