Puma Blue is the pseudonym of singer/songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Allen. The South-London born, Atlanta-based musican produces his own music in his bedroom and has been praised for his voice, lo-fi sound, raw guitar playing and jazz and hip-hop influences.
His debut EP Swum Baby was released in June 2017 and his first studio album In Praise Of Shadows was released in 2021, described by NME as “a brief moment of relief for those lost in the darkness”. The album found his storytelling at its most honest and vulnerable to date whilst his production reached new heights, retaining its characteristic bedroom intimacy.
His new album antichamber marks a sonic shift for Puma Blue with Allen writing away from the full band setup focusing on obscure electronic textures and acoustic instrumentation. Whereas Puma Blue’s previous material has honed in on the centre point between trip-hop, Jazz and electronica, antichamber demonstrates a raw and direct approach to songwriting.
