Ruth Buzzy, "Mission Statement" (No Record Company) **

And speaking of exquisitely crafted power-pop, this group (fleshed out from a duo to a trio by former Busker Soundcheck leader Paul Kamp) offers up a dozen cuts highlighted by gorgeous vocal harmonies. The group can devolve into Barenaked Ladies shtick ("Some Girls"), but when it plays it straight and hard ("Every Kid Knows"), it's hard to resist.
