In the winter of 2010, orchestral folk rockers The Ridges took to the abandoned Athens, OH, asylum that bears their same name to record a self-titled “studio” release among the victorian halls, deteriorating wards and eerie operating rooms. The 5-track, short-play album coping with themes of haunted pasts, death, love and awakenings, and backgrounded by the unique natural acoustics and legends of the building, is the band’s first formal presentation of their richly layered sound.
