antichamber marks a sonic shift for Puma Blue with Allen writing away from the full band setup 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”).
