Not all of Stereogum’s favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This installment’s eclectic virtual milk crate contains Sascha Funke, Jon Mueller, and Collections Of Colonies Of Bees.

I really like Sascha Funke’s new record Mango, which comes out (around) 2/11 on BPitch Control. I’m not always sucked into electronic albums, but there’s something about the melancholia and dark iciness woven through the gurgling beats that gets me. I decided to ask the German DJ/producer a few questions, so I could put more of a human touch behind the clicks and thumps of something I can’t stop playing.
