HAPPY RETURN: Mark Olson and his wife Ingunn Ringvold are preparing for their first Australian tour since their 2011 honeymoon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

WALKING around the\u00a0Californian desert without an instrument writing songs might sound like a scene out of Oliver Stone\u2019s biopic The Doors<\/i>when Jim Morrison and the boys take an LSD exploration.<\/p>\n

With the exception of the mind-altering substances, this was Mark Olson\u2019s experience while writing his new album Spokeswoman Of The Bright Sun<\/i>with his Norwegian\u00a0wife and musical partner Ingunn Ringvold.<\/p>\n

The former Jayhawks songwriter and Ringvold live on an isolated property near Joshua Tree National Park. It was at home or on the porch where\u00a0the pair recorded the album of Americana material live with eclectic equipment that included a \u201860s microphone rented from a music store and an Armenian kanun amplified through a delay box.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I write I go into a trance,\u201d Olson said from his home in southern California.\u00a0\u201cI try to do my music and lyrics in a way that I\u2019m working in my subconscious. I always go outside and write. I don\u2019t write inside and I write a lot of the time\u00a0without an instrument. I write in my mind and then I\u2019ll sit down with something that\u2019s in my mind and I\u2019ll work with Ingunn or an instrument.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spokeswoman Of The Bright Sun<\/i>, due for release\u00a0on August 25,\u00a0is the second album\u00a0the couple have recorded together. It\u00a0follows\u00a02014\u2019s\u00a0Good-bye Lizelle<\/i>. Olson, 55, said Ringvold has brought a new motivation to his songwriting.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe brings the sense in\u00a0me that I want to do it\u00a0in a unique and satisfying way again,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cI want this to be the time that I achieve my best music with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\"LEGEND:<\/p>\n

LEGEND: Mark Olson has carved a legacy in alt-country through the bands The Jayhawks and The Original Harmony Ridge Creekdippers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite Olson\u2019s pride in his wife\u2019s musical prowess, the album title does not refer to Ringvold. It\u2019s an ode to California, a state which rescued him from\u00a0his traumatic teenage years in Minnesota, following the death of his father at 13.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia is a land where you can live your dreams and I\u2019ve always to tried to do that and my life always went so much better in California,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving to the desert there\u2019s an incredible amount of sunshine and I just started to feel like there\u2019s some spokeswoman of the sun talking and helping me with things that are important in life. Your destiny and things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Olson and Ingunn Ringvold play Dashville Skyline on September 29 to October 1 and\u00a0perform at the Northern Star Hotel and Grand Junction Hotel on September 23 and 24.<\/b><\/p>\n
