Flowchart

Hometown: Philadelphia

Flowchart (aka Sean O'Neal) is an apt name for this one-man electronica outing: the circular and repetitive synth lines move seamlessly through your mind, much like the lines and graphs that indicate the subtle variations on a -- that's right -- flowchart. The melodies are lilting and hypnotizing.

Flowchart would be nothing without ABBA (or Free Design, to name-check something equally as saccharine but more obscure), soaking their '70s drama queen fandango deep in playful irony.

"Nationwide Sleep Disorder" is the detailed outline of O'Neal's quest for inner peace through super-ambient casio-core keyboard textures and maximized minimalism. It is the first track on Tenjira, the first of Darla's illustrious Bliss Out series.
