Puma Blue has unveiled a surprise new album titled ‘antichamber’ – listen now.
The songwriter, originally from South London and now residing in Atlanta, a hub for various North American artistic collectives, presents 'antichamber' as a seemingly solo project comprising 13 tracks of introspective content.
Released recently, the album showcases Jacob Allen, Puma Blue's real name, exploring new artistic directions and follows his single ‘tapestry’ from January.
He will embark on a limited number of American shows, describing the songs as “similar to diary entries…”
Take a moment to listen to ‘antichamber’ and read a message from Puma Blue below.
In my home in Decatur, nestled by the woods, I find myself in a two-week stretch of cold and solitary reflection.
In an effort to avoid being overwhelmed during a difficult period, I begin to create a soundtrack for my solitude, with no intention of sharing it with anyone.
The songs flow out like journal entries. I have never received music from a higher source so rapidly.
Before long, I have recorded half an hour of deeply personal, minimalistic music using a single microphone, along with ambient pieces influenced by my favorite romantic-era classical compositions, capturing my environment with a field recorder gifted to me by my partner.
What starts as a personal contemplation evolves into a complete body of work, embodying the quiet longing of this time. It becomes a companion on my long walks and bike rides. I listen to the mixes while observing the birds and rivers. I begin to heal.
When I muster the courage to share the music with my partner and a few friends, they affirm that this is indeed Puma Blue music.
This album is titled antichamber.
It has a runtime of 35 minutes.
It features 4 ambient tracks and 9 songs (including a cover of a Low song).
I want the music to be its own voice, but for any pressing questions, feel free to reach out to me at https://www.reddit.com/r/PumaBlue/
I hope it reaches you wherever you are.
With love,
Jacob x
