{"product_id":"puma-blue-croak-dream","title":"Puma Blue - Croak Dream","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis record marks a daring evolution for Puma Blue, balancing bold sonic experimentation with raw emotional clarity, tailor-made for the stage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Play It Again Sam","offers":[{"title":"Deep Ocean Vinyl LP","offer_id":53812946665795,"sku":"RPT-13165","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1601\/8499\/files\/f32e33b72329695ef09afd14defc5b7e.png?v=1761067374","url":"https:\/\/www.recordplant.co.uk\/products\/puma-blue-croak-dream","provider":"Record Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
