The stage name of London singer/songwriter Jacob Allen, Puma Blue is known for his languid, deeply atmospheric sound blending indie rock, alternative R&B, downtempo, and '90s trip-hop influences. He first garnered buzz with several EPs before gaining wider attention with his 2021 full-length debut, In Praise of Shadows. Born in 1995, Allen spent his adolescence in Hurst Green, Sussex, and later Redhill near Croyden, where he started out on the drums. By his teens, he had taught himself to play guitar and was soon crafting his own songs, drawing inspiration from artists like Radiohead and Jeff Buckley, as well as Sade and J Dilla. He eventually moved to South East London, where he ensconced himself in the city's vibrant hip-hop and electronic music scene. Allen adopted the name Puma Blue and began posting songs online in 2014. He issued several EPs, including 2017's Swum Baby and 2018's Blood Loss, both of which helped build his fan base. Intimate live shows followed, as did collaborations with artists like Lava La Rue, Biig Piig, Lucy Lu, and others. In 2021, Puma Blue released his full-length debut, In Praise of Shadows.
Blood Loss EP As-Is Never would have left your ether Each Nazca Line of the brittle Earth Every structured fortress inside of your well Would have followed the dark waters through to Hell As we swam through body horror or blistered shipwreck Was some kind of home And as my knuckles burned blue, you slipped through Into a deep sleep forever, away to otherness And I had to bury you under the mattress, but I kept you As-is Lust I don't wish I was your brother And I'm so tired of being just friends I wanna be your lover Or at least something close to it 'Cause honey I tried To keep you away at night All just to crush those eyes 'Cause it's you I'm spiraling down into Falling away to blue Fading away too soon And I'll fade into a perfect shade of grey Falling in lust again Dreaming you into my bed Oh we've got to stop it babe Before it's too late, before we Break these grey lines, before they wane 'Cause honey I'm so confused Could I fall away to blue Shook by the spell of you 'Cause it's you I'm spiraling down into Falling away to blue Fading away too soon, yeah And I'll fade into a perfect shade of grey Falling in lust again Dreaming you into my bed 'Cause it's you I'm spiraling down into Falling away to blue Fading away too soon (Yeah, yeah) And I'll fade into a perfect shade of grey Falling in lust again Dreaming you into my bed BC / Rift I'm just trying to make you see I'm just trying to make you see The light has left my eyes babe The pain we brought to life baby (I'm just trying to make you see) These lines around my eyes babe These nights around my eyes,

Midnight Blue I was always afraid To make you stay But now my love has gone away And maybe I Was a fool to wish and dream We would never dissolve like this Baby where are you On this midnight blue I pray for my love to come back soon Baby where are you On this midnight blue I pray for my love to come back soon And if I roll Over on my side Would I crush delicate wings That turn my tides 'Cause I

for my love to come back soon Baby where are you On this midnight blue I pray for my love to come back soon, yeah Baby where are you on this midnight blue I pray for my love, to come back soon 'Cause I miss you, so Ether She used to see you in the lights Like a lotus in blossom, glittering Soft opossum dog hopeless in want Searching, skin like a queen Her silhouette hurts me though Under the glove of recent moons The waxy glow and silk cut jaws All smothered by her charcoal snow If I could take this ghost into me Pulling inside tenderly, I could not Nighttime skin, glistening and remembers But the beating bird inside its lonely iron cage forgot So alone this nocturne goes Frail fluttering moments seeping out Drink them in Greedily as prose By putrid, red wine stained stalls and cheap laughing candlelight Before they are out of the reach of lips, and tumbling sweetly into the close Bruise Cruise I'm just trying to make you see Oh I'm just trying to make you see Oh Yeah, I want you to myself, babe Yeah, I want you to myself, babe Black and blue was the color of you But you make me wanna stay, so grey baby I'm just trying to make you see Oh I'm just trying to make you see Oh Yeah, I need you to myself, babe Yeah, I need you to myself, babe Yeah, I want you for my health babe I tried to dispel myself through the ether But you make me wanna stay, so grey baby Stay, so grey Won't you stay now I'm just trying to make you see Oh I'm just trying to make you see Oh You make me wanna stay, so grey baby You make me wanna stay, so grey baby I'm just trying to make you see Oh I'm just trying to make you see Oh Close In my worst dreams I already Lost you a thousand fold And I tried so much to keep you Forever in my hold But it's not the time to save your place I have to let you go with grace Sweet dreams, only sweet dreams On the softest sheets of my disgrace Oh, so close, lover, close And be safe out in the cold The water here has turned to snow So close, sweet lover Close On his own (Live At Eddie’s Attic, Atlanta) Untitled 2 I'm a slave to not express this love Caught a dove that I can't release, until I cease to feel undone Enter the fool, a crimson stain upon my bluest pool I stall, she breaks delicate on my shore And I try to but I can't ignore How I'd clean every cut, and crush the death That craves her taste, vultures in dark robes of lace I'll mess you up, I'll fuck you up, but with one touch stop pain abrupt A pale white light reflects in her eyes Dangling from my mouth is a string of wasted time Her lips curl 'round but don't touch mine, apart from in my head In my sins that guard doors and give birth to more I replay what she said Want Me Said that I don't care, but of course I do How come when I'm alone, I only think of you I've only been in love, maybe once or twice Now that I've had just a taste you've got me so enticed I used to feel those words that you spoke over me, but now I don't I used to feel those powder blue eyes stare through mine, but now I guess I won't Now I don't know, if you want me so, I guess I'll go Floor me with that style, and if I had a choice I wouldn't slip up everytime that I hear your voice Though it doesn't work, I try so desperately Become this great ugly root to a perfect tree I used to feel those words that you spoke over me, but now I don't Used to feel those powder blue eyes stare through

There's no use in trying to fool, there's no use I miss the snow on my skin I miss feeling pure, miss feeling a thing I miss feeling young And as her body slipped away, baby I bled dry Tore a hole right through me The well became empty and I sat inside Holding the space where you used to lay by my side Wrote down the things I had to say Put them in a letter, that was the best I could think to do "Here I am", you said, 'And here I go..." Goodbye forever... Restless angel, I made a mess of you I know, I know And I could never take back my harm, no I saw the lights go out Paid such a heavy price Baby, I'm sick treading lines I ain't coming back to you If you won't give it back, no... I'm so far from my innocence, I have forgotten its taste I'd drag on you but why bother, your very essence fogs this lonely place Baby, you're draped over the only light that could fill this room Beautiful in your way, but drowning the rest to doom Already Falling Well this dream, this dream could be the death of me Struggle in these sheets, oh I feel I can't breathe This smoke, it fills my head I'm spun over a thread Sideways stuck into your stare, but I'm filled with dread Well I'm sure it's not what you meant to say, but you said it anyway The sweet subtlety of your perfume But it escapes the room, it escapes the room And I'm never gonna hear your tones bleed through And I'm already falling in love With the shape of you, with the shape of you And I'm never gonna hear your tones bleed through And I'm already falling in love With the shape of you, with the shape of you Oh, this dream could be the death of me (In my worst dreams I paid a cost) As I struggle to see what's left of me (Sweet subtlest prisoner) These colours you left, all over the bed They turn me in my grave And I'm never gonna hear your tones bleed through And I'm already falling in love With the shape of you, with the shape of you And I'm never gonna hear your tones bleed through And I'm already falling in love With the shape of you, with the shape of you Sheets (feat. Bre-Antonia) Sinking into one She blossoms between my fingertips We become Unravelling, undone She has let me breathe I came from the sea saying "What can I offer?"

Maybe it's just all too much To see it all turn to dust Mother, mother Mother, mother The crushing weight of it all It's so rough, so rough It's so rough, so rough And it cuts me up Maybe it's just all too much To see it all turn to dust Maybe it's just all too much To see it all turn to dust Maybe it's just all too much To see it all turn to dust To the sound of the raging earth To the sound of sun's setting eyes To the sound of the spirit's tongue To the sound of the mother's cry To the itch of a phantom wound And the scorch of the blackened woods To the falling of the sky To the feel of forgetting why To the wailing of the world To the dying of this star, too far... Epitaph Feeble with your morning prayer Offer a cup of warm You left a shape like a battle wound, almost As big as a sun Smile lines that resembled mine May it never come undone Through all these things you can live on Small bites of birthday cake Like a secret mouse Wispy laugh on a telephone You say I'm just like Mum Crayon drawings on the basement walls That we had drawn Through all these things you can live on Rolling hills whip around your shrine My connection to the north Hold close the fading echo of your Little fragile paws Goodbye little wicker throne where your love Forever rests his eyes Through all these things you can live on You live on You live on Gates (Wait For Me) "Wait for me", she said "Wait for me", she said How could I forget "Wait for me", she said "Wait for me", she said How could I forget "Wait for me", she said "Wait for me", she said How could I forget "Wait for me", she said "Wait for me", she said How could I forget "Wait for me", she said "Wait for me", she said How could I forget "Wait for me", she said "Wait for me", she said How could I forget "Wait for me", she said "Wait for me", she said How could I forget Dream Of You Nothing worse than watching you cry The blue of you runs deeply inside Every tear that runs from those eyes... Every tear that runs from you Nothing worse than making you cry Or being different places at different times There's nothing worse than saying goodbye Nothing worse than saying goodbye Every time I think of you Spirits threat to run me through Feels somehow like I already died Every time I dream of you I wish the gods would take me to you Feels somehow like I already died Half the time that you've seen me cry I cloak it under some kind of lie Everything in bottles inside Everything in bottles Every time I think of you Spirits threat to run me through Feels somehow like I already died And every time I dream of you I wish the gods would take me to you Feels somehow like I already died Holy Waters Wait a while I'll do anything For your hands in my hair I'm no conjurer I can't make you stay But I'm so afraid Enveloped in furs That you wrapped around my form Wish I didn't need them But here I cling To the softness Makes it a little less lonely And holy waters Pulled me beneath before Better men than me before But I won't this time descend Back from where I'm sent I won't slip away Any way you could fill a cup The slimmer drink means not the fuller love Whether warmth or chill instead clings Even as I'm taken by deathly stings Still I will drink Keep hold my secret in torture's grip If scorched earth do become of us Or every man is seized with lust I will profess to have loved every form And find you regardless in the storm Any place with you is home Any place with you is home Any place with you is home Any place with you is home Any place with you is home Any place with you is home Any place with you is home Any place with you is home Mirage No, no, no, no No, no, no, no No, no, no, no I could still picture you Late night after school You'd limp me to my door You live on in the cracks of your mother's paws Took the same train At the same time every day You held my hand in a platonic way I used to find peace of my mind in your tall boyfriend But we never said goodbye before the end Some mirage on my way home Deceived my eyes and showed a clone I don't know where you went But I know you ain't coming back The sobering truth runs up my back Coulda sworn that was you standing there With a baby bump and the wind in your hair But you went skidding in that car With a baby and your lover Now you're far, from here It wasn't you It wasn't you It wasn't you It wasn't you It wasn't you It wasn't you It wasn't you It wasn't you Light Is Gone Try as I might to hold on Close, but I fail to move on Where is the light that is gone Where is the light that is gone Slide, but I can't carry on Try to start again, but it's done Where is the light that is gone Where is the light that is gone Don't let the dark take you whole Don't let the dark take you whole
