Producing Samia’s Bloodless & System of a Down Inspo? | B-Side Banter Influence Ep. 2 w/Caleb Wright

June 12, 2025 • B-Side Banter • Episode 2

🔥 Welcome to INFLUENCE — a B-Side Banter series where we dive into the minds behind the music. 🔥

In this episode, Tyler is joined by producer, writer, and mixer Caleb Wright — known for his work on Samia’s acclaimed Bloodless album. Caleb opens up about crafting the record, translating it for live shows, and why it just might be the album of the summer.

We talk about the creative dynamic between artist and producer, the influence of Leonard Cohen and Flying Lotus, and how System of a Down (yes, really) left a lasting mark. Plus, Caleb shares his thoughts on working in non-traditional studio spaces, what makes a “bulletproof” song, and why Ethel Cain’s Perverts EP changed his life.
