I avoided this band's debut back in 2005 due to unpleasant comparisons to Kaiser Chief's Employment. But what with all the quiet positivity the latest album has been getting I felt inclined to investigate and...wow, if Duels happened to sound like angular pop before then they certainly don't now, this is industrial-folk with a twisted, brutal core. Sounds evil and I love it, fair play to them for attempting something completely different and succeeding.
