PAN M 360 / TOP 100 : Puma Blue – Holy Waters

· by Lyle Hendriks

Puma Blue’s Holy Waters is a well-titled album. The project churns and swirls, a dusky haze of midnight blue and thick, sedating fog that draws us ever deeper into a devastatingly beautiful sonic world. At times anesthetizing and peaceful, at others frenetic and ferocious, Holy Waters marks a completely new chapter of growth in Allen’s aesthetic sensibilities. Poetry is king on Holy Waters, with haunting imagery and blossoming metaphor that offers up new insights on every listen. Allen covers ample thematic ground here, though much of it centres around grief, mourning, and the jagged twists and turns of being hopelessly, boundlessly in love. Vast and expansive, there’s a distinctly new sensation on the new album that shows us the true possibilities of Puma Blue—not only as a musician, but as a curator of taste and style across multiple visual, written, and sonic mediums.
