Today, Dana Sipos is releasing her new album, Golden Molten. To help celebrate the occasion, the songwriter is sharing album track “Gemstone”, a song which “encapsulates the whole feeling of Golden Molten and crisscrosses the albums' central theme; Once you are put under a certain pressurized situation or cracked open, how are you changed and what is revealed under the surface?” says Sipos.
“Of course many things will be revealed or will continue to be revealed slowly over time. And there are many ways to be cracked open, spiritually, emotionally, physically. Although the song is about more than just this experience, the first line was inspired by needing to go in for surgery and grappling with the idea of being literally cut open. I wanted to find some grace in the process and wrap up all these ‘revelations’ - sometimes we're resilient and at peace, sometimes we're grieving and disappointed by life taking its odd turns - with the notion that dreamers can imagine beyond the present moment. All shored up with some inherited protections from my Jewish tradition meant to bring some folk magic into my healing processes.”

MORE ABOUT GOLDEN MOLTEN
Known for songwriting that is both intimate and otherworldly, Sipos creates spellbinding atmospheres for listeners to lose themselves in. Celebrated for songs that hold the complexity of the human experience up to the light, Sipos' anticipated new album is her most personal and luminous work to date. Exploring themes of impermanence and the pressurized process of metamorphosis, the 9 songs on Golden Molten stay grounded in the poetic introspection reminiscent of Dana’s albums and include experimental textures, stacked vocal harmonies and 70s inspired groove. It is a family of songs that feels both immediate and timeless.
The album was forged through long seasons of transformation. In the post-Covid years leading up to its creation, Sipos navigated a cancer diagnosis and treatment, the death of her step-father, love followed by the long tail of heartbreak, the formation and eventual fracturing of a close circle and the recalibration of life’s dreams. Each song’s beginning carried its own endings over the course of their writing, while the sands of each trial shifted underfoot with life’s strange and constant movement. As a result, these songs carry traces of the living memory of their unfolding with, as always, a nod towards the cosmic.

Once again teaming up with contemporary producer Sandro Perri, Sipos and her talented studio band decamped to Union Sound in Toronto for a marathon one day rehearsal, two day recording session. Tracked mostly live off the floor, the compressed time frame built an intensity in the room that supported a real collaborative effort. Dana and the band responded to each other instinctively, the trust built up over their years of creating albums together, and didn’t overthink choices. Sipos’ evocative voice and vivid lyricism are supported by the band with sometimes spacious, often textural and always deliberate arrangements steered by the light touch of Perri's brilliant guidance. "We were short on time due to some extenuating recording circumstances, one after another. The studio can often be a bit vulnerable but the timing element added an emotional intensity to the experience, at least for me, that I think ultimately charged up the songs" reflects Sipos. "There were some very fun moments of course and those "studio magic moments," but it was unexpectedly emotional as well." As a result, the songs that make up Golden Molten are fully present are unguarded.

Golden Molten confirms Sipos as a singular presence in contemporary folk music—a deeply reflective artist attuned to both the fragility and resilience of the human experience. Writing that honours time and her travellers, and holds in her hands the many faces of loss and change. This is not a record rushed into the world, but with its slow burn and soft glow, Golden Molten reminds us that transformations are rarely instantaneous—but slowly shaped by the heat of life until they take on a new shape.
Recently, on CBC Q, Sipos and guest host Garvia Bailey discussed album single “Soft Feeling” and more, listen to their conversation HERE.
Beginning March 25, Dana Sipos will celebrate the release of Golden Molten with a twenty one date tour from B.C. to Ontario and back again. All dates will be with Miina.
