Acclaimed Canadian musician Dana Sipos is known for songwriting that is both intimate and otherworldly, creating spellbinding atmospheres for listeners to lose themselves in. Once again teaming up with contemporary producer Sandro Perri, her anticipated new album is her most personal and luminous work to date. Sipos and her 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 guidance.
Golden Molten is a family of songs that feels both immediate and timeless, exploring themes of impermanence and the pressurized process of metamorphosis, grounded in the poetic introspection reminiscent of Sipos’ albums. It confirms her 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 reminds us that transformations are rarely instantaneous—but slowly shaped by the heat of life until they take on a new shape. Sipos will be touring Golden Molten across Canada in spring 2026. Â
