"Itchin' on a Photograph" turned up in September 2011 on Grouplove's album Never Trust a Happy Song, and the writing credit goes to the whole band. Ryan Rabin produced it, engineered it and recorded it, and he keeps the racket of voices and guitars right up in your face. It's sunny, shouty, ramshackle indie pop, the kind of gang-vocal singalong that sounds like a house party spilling out onto the lawn after midnight.
