SONG PREMIERE: MARK OLSON (JAYHAWKS CO-FOUNDER) AND INGUNN RINGVOLD HARMONIZE BEAUTIFULLY IN PIANO-DRIVEN FOLK BALLAD \u201cSILENT MARY\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A roller coaster in a long-closed Lake Minnetonka amusement park, walks through historic orthodox churches, a fossil-collecting canoe trip along the Niobrara River, and an isolated pizza place in South Africa. Old memories swirling in the warm Joshua Tree breezes provided Jayhawks founder Mark Olson and his wife, Norwegian singer\/songwriter\/multi-instrumentalist Ingunn Ringvold, with the inspiration for the set of intriguing, imagistic songs that lovingly fill their latest outing, Magdalen Accepts the Invitation<\/em>, coming June 5th from Fiesta Red Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album\u2019s ten tracks draw upon the couple\u2019s recent adventures together and their earlier adventures apart as well as tapping into, and stretching out, their own individual musical influences.While continuing along the Americana-cobbled roads they took on their first two albums, Olson and Ringvold explore lesser traveled musical territories on this release. Without exactly knowing where they were going, the two were emboldened by each other\u2019s company and unafraid to push forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Armenian Qanon, the Mellotron, the dulcimer, and djembe drums are among the world of instruments that the multi-talented Ringvold contributed to Magdalen\u2019s sound. The variety of arrangements on the album act, she explains, \u201clike a different color in an impressionistic painting.\u201dRingvold also is thrilled about being able to weave elements of her family\u2019s musical heritage into her own songs and the interesting ways that her work blended in with Olson\u2019s original material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of Magdalen<\/em>\u2019s original track recordings were done on a Nagra field recorder, which further enhanced the album\u2019s unvarnished sonic textures. Additionally, Olson and Ringvold were perfectly in sync when it came to the recording process. He did all the analog engineering while she did the digital. Handling the mixing and mastering, as he had on Spokeswoman of the Bright Sun, was the award-winning producer John Schreiner, and Olson sings high praise for the warmth and spaciousness that Schreiner delivers in his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today Glide <\/em>is delighted to offer a premiere of \u201cSilent Mary,\u201d one of the standout tracks on the new album. Driven by the somber and enchanting piano, the sound is a slowburning ballad, Olson\u2019s voice is immediately identifiable as one half of the iconic alt-country group the Jayhawks. Though he no longer plays with the band he co-founded, his voice sounds intact and he remains one of the best harmonizers out there, in this case with Ringvold for a beautiful, heartfelt sound. With a subtle instrumental backdrop of 60s psychedelia guitar that reflects the influence of the California desert, the duo tap into a slowburning and powerful folk vibe that pulls you in. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olson shares the inspiration and process behind the song:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI try to make writing a spiritual exercise, in the sense that it is good for a person, like a nice evening, and I want to see what new kind of thought and melody can I make up on the porch with an instrument. Having lived in the California desert for 25 years is important, and I have a porch now. In the early days in Minnesota I didn\u2019t. I was constantly moving and wrote a lot of songs in Southern and Northwestern MN at family relation-houses. Also I like to write outside and I finished some of this song at a park bench in Big Pine, CA.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important line in Silent Mary is \u201cHer designs are made of bright vermillion clay \/ Paintings left on thrift store chairs \u201c This is the whole song in a nutshell. What are we talking about here? The man who designed the SunMaid raisin box artwork was from Fresno, CA at the turn of the last century. His daughter lived to be over 100 years old and lived near us in Joshua Tree. The artwork on the raisin box is beautiful and in a way it represents an early idealized vision of California. So it\u2019s a bright lovely design that was a part of this woman\u2019s life, something that made her and others smile.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua Tree is the home to mostly thrift store\u2013though that is starting to change. There\u2019s lots of thrift store art you can collect here. Paintings that people have worked on just like the SunMaid raisin graphics. These people put their heart and souls into the paintings. And people pick them up, take a look at them and then leave them on chairs. That\u2019s the big event on a hot summer day in Joshua Tree. That is the general vibe of \u2018Silent Mary.\u2019 All the other drama going on in this song, like letters going out the window, is being channeled from this one place\u2013the beautiful design that is left on a chair.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
