Puma Blue has shared the second single, “Croak Dream”, off his upcoming album of the same name out February 6th via PIAS.
Puma Blue shared this about the song: “”A Croak Dream” is a prophetic dream where you see a vision of how you die. Half the songs on this record allude to how you might decide to live, act, if you somehow knew your awaiting fate. Being daring, romantic… saying what you really mean.”

Markus Archer shared this about the record: “In the title and some lyrics I reference B- and horror-movies, which is a reference to the crazy world at the moment, which seems to be like a really bad and unrealistic B-movie.”

Why is it such a hard, lonely, agonizing and heavy experience to be turned away from Self.’”

Murray Lightburn shared this about the song: “This song was written very quickly, all at once; words, music, melody and arrangement. It is probably the closest thing to making any kind of political statement we will ever make. In the face of that, there is an internal noise and an external noise and they feel immovable. It’s a battle on two fronts.”
