+ Special Guests 

If you knew how and when you were going to die, how would it change how you decided to live? With
today’s announcement of his forthcoming studio record, Croak Dream (out February 6, 2026 via Play It
Again Sam), South-London born, Atlanta-based artist Puma Blue – the alias of Jacob Allen – explores
the philosophical question through daring lyrical content and bold production, gesturing toward his love
of trip-hop, dub techno, jungle and forward-thinking electronic music.

Alongside the announcement, Puma Blue also shares details of a world tour, as well as the lead single
and music video “Desire”. Originally written & recorded in a hotel room, the raw, visceral sound of
“Desire” went on to inspire the entirety of Croak Dream’s sonic landscape.“I didn’t have microphones with me or anything,” shares Allen about the early creation of the track.

“I ended up embracing the raw sound of my guitar recorded with my phone, no amplification. I meant to
re-dub it later, but I actually fell in love with how visceral it sounded unplugged, and so I left it as it was.
This approach snowballed into an appetite for these gritty and ugly sounds clashing with something more
lucid and dream-like.
Sometimes I feel like my music has been chronically shy and so with this song, it just felt time to be bold,
let it all hang out, throw the paint around. A lot of recent songs have started this way, lonely and reaching
for the guitar the way I did when I was a kid, a sort of old friend. Just using whatever limited tools within
my reach. I taught myself guitar on an electric as a teenager and for years we didn’t have a guitar amp, so
it felt kind of full circle for me.

As for the lyrics, I’m a lover asking his partner to bed, craving what she wants. It’s just a love song really.
But with jungle breaks"
