Puma Blue

Death nestles at the heart of Holy Waters, the highly anticipated new PUMA BLUE Album set for release on September 1st. The elevent tracks might be Jacop Allen´s darkest work to date, still it seems to find the singer-songwriter, producer and poet in a better place than ever. It’s as if death being the centrifuge to the album has made the beautiful moments that remain all the more beautiful. Recorded with his live band, the album marks a sharp departure from the solo bedroom productions of early EP releases 2017’s ‘Swum Baby’ and 2018’s ‘Blood Loss’. Inspired still by luminaries from Jeff Buckley to Björk, more important to Holy Waters was Portishead’s inexplicable marriage of a live band and production, and the improvisational work of Can and Hendrix. Apart from the album recordings, collaboration has also been creeping into PUMA BLUE´s work, with an impressive list of cowrites with Biig Piig, Mahalia, and Lava La Rue, among others.
