Review

Rolling Stone (p.79) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Standout cuts like 'White City' and 'Passport Kontrol' are thumping, synth-powered anthems that wouldn't sound out of place on an old Gary Numan record."
Spin (p.80) - "Boeckner's tortured vocals express shared experience rather than alienation. Even the album's Cold War backdrop can't cool their romance."
Alternative Press (p.134) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Vocalist Dan Boeckner coaxes out brittle electric guitar melodies fraught with bluesy distortion and serrated edges."
Blender (Magazine) (p.60) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "FACE CONTROL is a small triumph of intoxicating claustrophobia, full of crumbling, poignant melodies spurred along by the cold, unfeeling whip-crack of a cheap drum machine."

Title Note

Audio Mixer: Arlen Thompson.

Audio Remasterer: Harris Newman.

Recording information: Mount Zoomer.

With FACE CONTROL, their second full-length outing as Handsome Furs, the husband/wife duo of Dan Boeckner (vocals, guitars) and Alexei Perry (electronics, keyboards) present another set informed by minimalist techno. Intentionally evoking the chilly atmosphere of Eastern Europe, the album features plenty of sociopolitical themes, particularly addressing capitalism on the pulsing "Legal Tender" and the dreamy, New Order-like "All We Want, Baby, Is Everything." As with the group's more subdued Sub Pop debut, PLAGUE PARK, the New Wave-minded Handsome Furs are a far cry from Boeckner's indie-rock day job in Wolf Parade, making it much more than just a marital side-project.
