Puma Blue - Croak Dream *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 6th February 2026
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

With his new record Croak Dream, Puma Blue (real name
Jacob Allen) returns to the spectral intimacy that first won
him a cult following, now reimagined with the raw,
instinctive energy of his live band. The album fuses lo-fi
jazz balladry with jungle breaks, krautrock textures and
trip-hop atmosphere, drawing comparisons to Portishead,
Jeff Buckley, and D’Angelo.

Written in solitude and brought to life in collaboration,
Croak Dream was conjured from tape loop sessions at
Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, co-produced and
engineered by Sam Petts-Davies (The Smile, Frank Ocean)
where the band improvised to fragments of Allen’s songs
they’d never fully heard. The result is a dreamlike collage
of baritone sax-drenched ballads and restless grooves:
tender, feverish, and alive.

This record marks a daring evolution for Puma Blue,
balancing bold sonic experimentation with raw emotional
clarity, tailor-made for the stage.
