Blanket (Susukino edit)
A night in Sapporo meets handheld synthesizers: Konnichiwa and welcome back, Tim & Puma Mimi! The quirky Swiss-Japanese electro duo have returned! The first single «Blanket (Susukino Version)» (RELEASE: 13.12.2024 via A Tree In A Field Records) from the upcoming album «More or Less Tim & Puma Mimi» (RELEASE: 18.04.2025) revolves around the relationship of a night owl to its lost Swatch Susukino watch. Pocket Operator synthesizer and acoustic drum form a Gameboy soundtrack in colour, over which the vocoder’s voice moves like a video game character. A mind game that can certainly rob you of sleep, can’t it? Perfect for listening to the piece in a continuous loop and exploring Mimi’s hometown of Sapporo including the Susukino Crossing.

Blanket (Otaru edit)
Every A-side of a record once had its B-side. Tim & Puma Mimi commemorate this format in their single releases. Accordingly, there is not one, but two versions of the Swiss-Japanese electro duo’s return. «Blanket (Otaru Version)» is the dark sibling of the Susukino version of the same name. A dark, beat-less retro song named after Otaru, a small port town near Sapporo. The guitar work of Toshi TKNG, a family friend from Japan, continues to be the focus and is classified by him as follows: «I did something in the style of Duran Duran». Sayonara, you psychedelic New World.
