British sci-fi surf outfit The Del Roswells follow up last year’s Operation Roswell LP with the You Fly The Tic Tac Wrong EP, a bold step into uncharted territory. Their trademark surf rock sound is still the launchpad, but the four new songs rocket deeper into rockabilly orbit. Perhaps the biggest surprise: after leaning heavily on instrumentals in the past, vocals now take center stage, and they fit like a space glove.

From the rip-roaring opener Klattu, Barada, Nikto, Let’s Go! (its title borrowed from the 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still) to cinematic closer Italian Deep Dish Alien Biscuits, not only are the titles spot on, these tunes are as catchy as they come. It begs the question: is there a dance floor in space? If so, there’s no mistaking what’s blasting out of those speakers.

You Fly The Tic Tac Wrong is out now digitally (self-released).
