Bosnian Rainbows is the only studio album by American alternative rock band Bosnian Rainbows, released on June 24, 2013 on Clouds Hill, Sargent House and Rodriguez-Lopez Productions.

Bosnian Rainbows debuted at #2 on Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.[8]
Critical reception
Reviews were generally positive; Rolling Stone said the album was impressive as an "art rock abnegation" but said they were left wanting more "excess" after Lopez's restrained New Wave style riffs on tracks like "Morning Sickness".[11] NPR called every song on the album "catchy and anthemic" with a "cryptic" lyrical style compared to Tori Amos.[12] Combining upbeat melodies with "hints of melancholy", Teri Gender Bender's vocals have been compared to David Bowie.[13]
