Sam Blasucci - Physical Dream (LP)

Physical Dream is Sam Blasucci’s fourth studio album and first double LP. It’s a sensorial, immersive record that shimmers, shudders, and grooves with genre-blurring mastery. The 28-track album unfolds like a living body—nonlinear and dynamic, alive with cascading instrumentals, buoyant boogie rhythms, and a sound that is simultaneously groovy and poetic.

Recorded over just two weeks on a remote island property in Sooke, British Columbia, Physical Dream was born close to the ground. Blasucci slept in a small shack on the land while working closely with engineer and collaborator Jonny Payne. Additional recording took place in studios across Los Angeles and Ojai, California.

The album includes contributions from Mia Wilson (vocals), Randal Fisher (horns, flute), Andres Renteria (percussion), Laena Myers (violin, viola, vocals), and Leng Bian (harp).

Aside from traditional instrumentation, the album also gives voice to the environments where the music was made. Night sounds recorded on Blasucci’s Ojai property appear on “WHO LIVES ON THESE LANDS.” Running water from a Big Sur waterfall appears on “ORCHIDS.” “SI SE PUEDE” includes audio recorded at an anti-ICE protest in Oxnard, California. These elements expand the album’s sense of space and relationship. Blasucci’s voice is deeply personal and human, yet constantly in dialogue with a wider living world—and asking it to dance.
