Genre: Hip Hop/R&B

 South-London born, Atlanta-based Puma Blue - the alias of Jacob Allen - releases a surprise album, ‘antichamber’, via Blue Flowers.
 ‘antichamber’ marks a sonic shift for Puma Blue, with Allen writing away from the full band set up, 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. It’s vulnerable and crushingly beautiful, with vocals and guitar being the sole components, at times delivering dense narratives (‘tapestry’, ‘hotel room’) and at others the simplest sentiment (‘in the absence of you’).
 Alongside the 13-track body of work, which follows the single ‘tapestry’ - supported at Stereogum, Paste Magazine, Northern Transmissions, The Line of Best Fit, CLASH and more - Allen announces three intimate headline shows for May in New York, Los Angeles and Atlanta.
