BetwixtBetwixt carved quite a niche in their brief three-year career (1997-2000). The Boston foursome featured Gordon Withers on cello (no bass in this band!), Tom Devaney on guitar, Dave Nelson on drums, and Leah Callahan on the sinister/playful vocals. The band released one single, "Lucky 13/Seahorse" in 1997, and followed up with full-length LPs, Moustache (1998) and The Salty Tang (1999).The Salty Tang, released 24 July 20201. Jailbreak '98-'992.

Dead AnimalsOriginally released in 1999, Betwixt's highly-acclaimed second LP, The Salty Tang has been remastered from the original tapes and reissued on vinyl for the first time!! Upon its original release, CMJ called the record "a twisted, yet thoroughly beguiling mess of form-free pop" and added "this beautifully strange record, which is lodged tightly in the gorge that divides avant-pop and art-damaged rock, is elusive and challenging enough to puzzle and enchant even the most fickle listeners." The Boston Herald said "The Salty Tang continues Betwixt's raucous careening with inspired song craft and arty space trips." AllMusic.com said The Salty Tang "spices the group's alternative rock sound with winding, vaguely Old World-inspired melodies and arrangements, as well as with ethereal, slightly sinister female vocals. The band's best rock songs, such as the cello-driven gypsy-grunge of "Mosquito Bites" and the loping, klezmer-tinged "Sound of America," manage to be both dynamic and sophisticated, while the gentle yet disturbing "Needlessness" and the similarly hypnotic "Back of a Hand" hint at their softer side."
