Puma Blue is the project of producer and singer Jacob Allen, who emerged from South London's DIY scene with a sound steeped in trip-hop, soul, and dream pop. At the time of "In Praise of Shadows," Allen was establishing his signature sound, a woozy, nocturnal blend that drew comparisons to artists like Portishead and King Krule.
