Blaine L. Reininger

We're incredibly proud to announce the new album by Blaine L. Reininger of Tuxedomoon, now a Dark Companion artist. Ocean Planet is an ambient-avant-garde work written, recorded, and mixed by Blaine himself in Athens, Greece, and features 12 deeply intense, atmospheric, and introspective tracks. The beautiful cover art is based on a painting by Blaine's wife, Maria Panourgia. Some of the songs had been sitting in Blaine's drawer for a while when producer Max Marchini discovered that some of them, presented here, fit together perfectly, creating a wonderfully intimate continuum. Thus was born Ocean Planet, Blaine's debut on Dark Companion. Incidentally, it's only natural, because our company name was borrowed from an old Tuxedomoon tune. Most of the songs were written for this album, while a few were previously intended for other uses.
