Bend is the second and final album by the band The Origin, released in 1992. The lead single, "Bonfires Burning", charted at number 17 on the BillboardModern Rock Tracks chart.[3]
Bend was released on CD and cassette on February 11, 1992, with eleven tracks featuring a more mature sound with elements of psychedelia, folk, rock, and power pop. Upon release, Bend did not chart on the Billboard 200, receiving little attention during the changing era of grunge at the time. Two of the album's tracks were released as singles, with one charting on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks.[3] The album is currently out of print and unavailable on digital stores and streaming sites.
Allmusic gave the album an editor rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, with Stanton Swihart describing it as "elastic, funky, vaguely spacey, rhythm heavy, soulful. The songs were significantly stronger both melodically and thematically and the playing much more dynamic than their self-titled debut. The quartet sounds less reigned in, and, as a result, they were able to let the songs find their own forms and create a considerably more organic and rootsy vibe." Swihart continues... "the most impressive songs position themselves in a long Golden State lineage, from the Neil Young echoes of "Giving It All" to the gloomy, epic folk-rock of "Candymine" and the glimmering, sun-over-the-horizon feel of "Never Again." And the title track has a subdued beauty that seems to take an orchestral grandeur from the California landscape."[2]
