Album lore

Marshall Allen’s Ghost Horizons capture a restless energy on *Live in Philadelphia*, issued by Otherly Love Records in 2025. The 16-track set pulls from free jazz, noise rock, and industrial strains, conjuring a dense, restless atmosphere that bears Allen’s signature from his Sun Ra Arkestra days. Recorded live, the album lays bare the group’s penchant for weaving drone and neofolk textures into sprawling improvisations, as on “Back to You,” where fractured melodies meet turbulent bursts.The performance unfolds like a litany of spectral transmissions, with titles such as “Cosmic Dreamers, Ode to Elegua” and “In The Silence Of The Infinite” hinting at the spiritual and experimental impulses at play. Though the album’s listenership remains modest, its resonance within avant-garde circles is palpable, a document for those attuned to the fringes where jazz and noise intersect.
