Description

Vinyl LP pressing. Over the course of two EPs, two singles and a stripped-back live album, Puma Blue has established himself as one of the UK s most vital new talents, quietly amassing over 50 million streams in the process and selling out shows from London to LA and Paris to Tokyo. His long-awaited debut album, In Praise of Shadows, is a delirious dreamland of soulful vocals, D Angelo-ish guitars and muted electronic beats. It s fourteen tracks are a contemplation on the balance of light and dark, the painful things you have to heal from or accept, that bring you through to a better place says the 25-year-old Puma Blue, real name Jacob Allen It s about finding light in darkness and realizing that it s what got me here today. It s nocturnal, soul-searching sound is born from a decade in which the he was plagued with insomnia, but there s also a new maturity and lucidity to the way in which Allen deals with his demons and celebrates beauty. Over the last two years, a blossoming romance and burgeoning career have not only helped him to sleep, but also forced the previously bedroom-bound songwriter out into the open and driven him to find a new perspective on loss, lust, love and everything in-between. This companion LP features 2 bonus tracks and live versions of a selection of album cuts.
