Duanna’s new EP, open tabs, is a tight, atmospheric snapshot of everything that happens in the quiet spaces of life. Across six tracks, the New York City-based artist leans into ambient textures, airy vocals and soft dance rhythms, building on the sound she introduced with her debut, Lona. Entirely self-written and mostly self-produced, the EP feels personal and enveloping, drawing the listener into its world.
Two of the project’s standout moments come with “Species,” which drifts through lines like “Down the freeway / Heavenly escape” over a hazy, pulsing backdrop, and “Better Off,” a breakup mantra built around the repeated “I’m better off without you” line set against a steady, late-night beat.
What makes open tabs work is the flow. The tracks melt into each other, creating a sense of time stretching rather than moving forward. Each track carries the mood of a pause or a slow breath, with production that leans into subtle, dreamlike textures.
It’s an easy, immersive listen that highlights Duanna’s growing voice within modern electronic music. If you like music that captures emotion without forcing it, this EP hits the mark.
