Between Screens is the debut studio album by Canadian post-rock project The Wax Girl. It was self-released on February 10, 2015.[2]

It was written and recorded in its entirety by Alex Wright at his studio in Toronto between April 2014 and January 2015. Wright has stated that the title "is a reflection of modern day relationships and how technology is disconnecting us".[3]

Echoes and Dust praised Between Screens, saying "everything about this album makes the hair on my arms rise and creates goosebumps all over."[3]

Ride the Tempo declared that "'Between Screens’ is an even stronger set of music, and also more purposeful" compared to The Wax Girl's "excellent" 2014 release, Anosmic EP.[1]

Weird Canada published a feature on April 2, 2015, proclaiming that Between Screens is "perfect for laying back and letting the current take you where it will."[5]

The animated video for Nuclear Winter was critically lauded by both Backseat Mafia and Echoes and Dust.[6][7] The video was ranked #9 on Ride the Tempo's list of Top Canadian Music Videos of 2015.[8]
