Duara

Jakarta duo Duara write songs that feel like fragments of memory. Formed by vocalist Renita Martadinata and guitarist Robert Mulyarahardja in 2017, they call their sound pop agnostic: indie pop that drifts into dream pop, jazz, ambient and cinematic textures. Their music moves between warmth and melancholy. Morning Sun with Vira Talisa carried hope during the pandemic, while Hilang resonated with themes of loss and resilience. Each release feels like a diary entry carried by echoes. Their new EP In The Moment arrives on 29 August 2025, tracing longing, change and the stillness of time. The lead single Memento Mori (22 August) is a haunted acoustic mantra, while the focus track Between The Lines captures the restless push and pull of memory.
