Bethlehem (The Original Sins album)

Bethlehem is the second studio album by the American alternative rock band The Original Sins, released in 1989. The album marked a shift in the band's sound, incorporating elements of psychedelia and more complex song structures compared to their earlier, more straightforward garage rock style. Bethlehem was recorded at Studio Red in Philadelphia and produced by the band themselves.

The album is notable for its introspective lyrics and heavier use of layered instrumentation. Some prominent tracks include "Here Comes the Rain" and "I Don't Mind." While not a commercially successful album upon its release, Bethlehem has since gained a cult following and is considered by some to be one of The Original Sins' most critically acclaimed works. The album's title, "Bethlehem," is thought to reflect a sense of peace or longing, although the specific meaning has not been explicitly stated by the band.
