Midlife Crisis
By Mr Diagonal's

Mr Diagonal Midlife Crisis is a celebration of the 40-year itch: its doubts and delusions, mood-swings, sexual and existential crises. All set to groovy pop-music and delivered with the British stiff upper lip in the tradition of Noel Coward, Jake Thackray and Divine Comedy. On this new opus mr Diagonal is joined by 2 accomplices from Black Light Orchestra: Yannick Dupont (drums & percussion) and Quentin Manfroy (electric bass); with special guests Benjamin Clement (guitar and pedal steel), Philippe Tasquin (vocal arrangements) and Anemie Osborne (backing vocals). Mr Diagonal sings and plays guitar, piano and vintage keyboards. The Belgo-delic production is by Gil Mortio. This new album, with a pronounced retro flavour, is a parenthesis in the discography of the Black Light Orchestra to highlight some of the hidden facettes of mr Diagonal's tortured soul.
