Puma Blue has shared dark, immersive near-ambient project ‘Extchamber’.
The South London raised and Atlanta-based talent returned with his wonderful album ‘antichamber’ earlier this year, a record of sumptuous beauty and potent world-building.
The physical edition has just landed via Blue Flowers, with Puma Blue returning to Europe for a full European tour.
Alongside this, he’s just shared a “shadow sibling” project, a tangential drop to his recent studio album.
Completely home recorded, ‘extchamber’ is all fleeting glances and murky paranoia, a world of suggestion, self-doubt, and experimentation.
A world to dissolve your mind in, ‘extchamber’ is online now accompanied by a note from Puma Blue – tap in below.
extchamber’ exists as a kind of shadow sibling to ‘antichamber’.
an ambient expansion-pack.
it’s all home recorded ghosts, machine hiss.
loading screens, liminal spaces.
cicadas and 90s horror game sounds.
some tracks contain fragments from the antichamber record that I resampled, extended or froze.
one track is a recording of static from my guitar.
one is a frozen chord that I could swear changes over the 6 minutes that it stretches for.
one is made up entirely of sounds from my girlfriend’s car.
the first track ‘elders’ is a piece inspired by the book many lives, many masters by brian weiss and the film adaptation of virginia woolf’s orlando.
it’s an immersive, dark listen for those who want it.
