The texture behind Al looks pretty carefully stylized. I would be more surprised if this was NOT from some kind of album artwork than if it was.

It does look very professionally-shot, I'll give you that. But it's a bit dark and freaky for album artwork.

Obviously, this is a an album cover, and OBVIOUSLY, the "dark and freaky album artwork" effect is a sign that the entire album will feature parodies of Nine Inch Nails. Nothing more. Can't believe we didn't think of this before. ;)

Just throwing this out there...maybe it's booklet artwork that'll make more sense in context?

He's CLEARLY paying homage to the classic Bradys go to Hawaii saga on the Brady Bunch. I expect Suzanne to tweet a pic of her and a tiki god at some point.
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

Well, there goes the album cover theory. Looking at the picture properties, I see the following:
Equipment Make: Hipstamatic
Camera model: 180
Creation Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Macintosh
Googling around I found the Hipstamatic App for iPhone, which is a software that lets you take picture with cool old school film-like effects, like this one.

The picture doesn't have any other metadata as to when and where it was taken, but someone somewhere mentioned it was probably a Hawaii thing, and I have to lean towards that theory.

It would still make an awesome album cover, so there's always hope.

Thats a good theory Alejandra! But we are looking forward to new ALbum anytime soon, so Im leaning the album artwork direction on this one.
