Destination Thailand: Damn Arms

In the midst of Bangkok’s political instability, Yama Indra (aka

G.L.O.V.E.S.) and his charmingly great girlfriend chatted with me on my
roof while we endured some serious Thai sun. What a treat it was to
talk about all things electro with one of Australia’s musical gems
while our legs dangled in the refreshingly cool pool water. And guess
what!? Now Pants has flown around the world to join me and experience
the madness that is this city. Being in the same time zone again
couldn’t feel better. I mean seriously, we already fed an elephant
twice! Pure happiness all around, kind of like Damn Arms’ new single
Destination Parts I & II.

“Destination marks the band’s shedding of their former twisted-new-rave-crunch exterior for a more refined, filtered ozzie-yacht-house sound. A two-part summer odyssey, Destination Pt1 is a blissed out digital-love serenade, a nautical dance ballad, the ultimate wacked out cruise ship club music…”

Damn Arms – “Destination Part 1

Get the full double A side single on Bang Gang 12 inches! Interview
after the jump.

Your name, how did it come to be yours? What is its meaning?

My name came to my dad in a dream. He is generally a spiritual person,
a man of the cosmos. Yama is a god of death.

What instruments do you play? Which one are you best at?

Well I like to play around with the guitar, bass guitar, piano and
trumpet. But I am classically trained in piano. I would say that I am
pretty experienced in synths and drum machines. Really, I just like
to work out every function possible, even if it’s a remote or my
digital watch.

Are you parents musicians too?

My dad plays the didgeridoo really well, he used to teach it.

What inspired the name for Damn Arms? Is it because you ran out of
arms to play all those instruments? Are they G.L.O.V.E.S. for your
Damn Arms?

I had a few names going and GLOVES was the winner. I like the
imagery, it conjures up a belief that music and art are related and
should be presented as such. The image of gloves is inspired from 70s
Italian film, where you would often see strangulation by a lone pair
of gloves. Damn Arms just came about. The two names aren’t
purposefully related.

In what direction do you see electronic music moving in the years to come?

Well I can’t see electro and pop going together for much longer, maybe
that’s because of my own taste though that I say that. Vintage lo fi
will stick around. French touch will continue to be a presence
because of its history. The same goes for disco house. I hope to be
getting into some sort of oriental electronic sounding stuff soon. Oh
yeah, don’t forget to send me some of those Punjabi tracks.

Jam or Jelly?

Koalas or Kangaroos?
