Gavin Russom on 'The Beneficent, The Merciful': "Although I think of all music as prayer this may be one of the most overtly prayerful tracks I've ever made. The title comes from the asmāʾ allāh al-ḥusnā or 99 names of Allah and is a phrase that opens many Islamic prayers. My mother, although not Arabic nor Muslim, was raised in the Middle East, and I grew up in an atmosphere of much celebration of Arabic and Islamic culture through food, music, art and spirituality

This is Gavin Russom's second solo EP for new London label Entropy Trax, after June's characteristically mesmeric The Purge/Enthroned "The Beneficent, The Merciful" fares better. Named after one of the 99 names of Allah, its wistful keys and stuttering percussion confer an endearingly hesitant and flickering start that persists even when these ingredients gently coalesce. A sleepy, subtle treat, it comfortably outshines the surprisingly one-dimensional A-side. Published, Thu, 18 Dec 2014. Words, Kit Macdonald. Tracklist, A1 Telemetry B1 The Beneficent, The Merciful.

The Beneficent, The Merciful". Fans of Gavin Russom are no doubt very happy with Ecstatic Recordings offshoot Entropy Trax. Founded by Walls pair Alessio Natalizia and Sam Willis as a platform for other artists to explore "experimental dance floor sounds", Entropy Trax has facilitated the welcome return to solo productions for Gavin Russom after an extended period focusing on The Crystal Ark project with Viva Ruiz.

Furthermore, b-side cut "The Beneficent, The Merciful" is described as "one of the most overtly prayerful tracks I've ever made," with Russom further pointing out that "some unconscious inspiration from the Islamic devotional music that I love" makes its way into the almost 10-minute track.
