Physical Dream Album Bio

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.

Lyrically, Physical Dream holds romance, mysticism, and political resistance side by side. Musically, the album feels like Leonard Cohen, Prince, and Brian Eno gave birth to a bilingual, fantastical, hypnotic phantom dance baby. Animated by introspection and motion, Physical Dream invites listeners into reflection and movement in equal measure.

Born in Northeast Los Angeles, Blasucci has lived across the U.S. and Mexico, including Coahuila, New Orleans, and Orem, and now finds home in Ojai, California. He learned music from his father as a child and formed Mapache at age 20, releasing 5 albums before launching his solo career in 2023.

Physical Dream will be released this spring on vinyl and all streaming platforms.
