âI must be losing my mind,âJacob Allenâs better-known alias of
Puma Blue will assure you on his debut album, âIn Praise Of Shadowsâ. The 14-track record traverses a winding road of insomnia, wandering dreams, sombre days and lustful nights.
Previously released tracks âVelvet Leavesâ, âOpiateâ and âSnowflowerâ all fall seamlessly into a cohesive piece of work which boasts Allenâs recognisable crooning while catering to his soft blues- centric strings. âAlready Fallingâ caresses the archetypal Puma Blue style: muted jazz and honey soaked words â quickly shifting to his more reckless âOil Slickâ, a much faster and unrecognisable track from the artist, still fitting so aptly amidst the intensely intimate record.
