Face Control, the Handsome Furs' follow-up to Plague Park, is due from Sub Pop on March 10 (not February 3 as previously reported), and the press photos for it are pretty Boner Party.

Well, the duo of Wolf Parade's Dan Boeckner and Alexi Perry must've figured out that Europeans love them some Boner Party press photos because they're about to embark on a string of European dates, including many with the Generiq Festival. After that, it's back to Canada, and then on to the American Midwest.

One question, though. With such a talent for picture-taking, why did Handsome Furs go with this for the Face Control album cover? C'mon, guys!
