Kevin Morby wrote "This Is a Photograph" by himself, words and music, and it's the title track of his seventh studio album, which Dead Oceans released on May 13, 2022, as well as one of the singles that helped promote it. The record grew out of Morby's fascination with Memphis, Tennessee, and Sam Cohen produced it, picking up a partnership that already ran through Singing Saw in 2016 and Oh My God in 2019.
Along with the title song, "Rock Bottom" and "A Random Act of Kindness" carried the album to listeners, and indie-folk singer-songwriter Erin Rae turns up on it as a guest. Critics were won over by the record, praising how much vulnerability Morby let show and hearing it as a new artistic high for him.
