Despite their totally adorable, quasi-novelty setup (brother and sister duo make achingly sweet pop music), the punchline of the McGregor project is that they are very serious about their selection and execution. Just ask San Francisco's reputable Darla label, who found its way out here to sign our favorite popsters. Another fact: The best musicians have the best taste. That's the way it works. So one CD of originals is great, but a second CD of selected covers of Mancini, Byrne/Harrison and Cohen? Bonus all the way. [DAVID DAY]
