After releasing their self-titled debut, Court Yard Hounds, to much critical acclaim, Emily Robison and Martie Maguire are at it again. Containing 11 new tracks, Robison and Maguire took a different approach with Amelita than their debut album in 2010. This album contains a new perspective, which is due in part to time passed since Robison's divorce. The new direction is apparent on title track 'Amelita,' which has a breezy south-of-the-border sound, or 'Phoebe,' which calls in a frenetic, anxious melody, and chillingly close harmonies. Lead single, 'Sunshine,' co-written by acclaimed singer/songwriter Jonatha Brooke along with Martin Strayer and Alex Dezen, oozes with irony as the girls flash their carefully manicured claws through silken harmonies. The girls teamed up with the same producer, Jim Scott, who they've had a Yes connection with since their first album. Surrounding themselves with Jim and guitarist Martin Strayer, who was also an integral part of the first album, the girls took a comfortable and pro-active approach to creating their music this time around.
