This is a photograph

"Morby reveals his fears, joys, and hopes with these songs in a way more direct and on the surface than any of his other albums. This heightened vulnerability, in conjunction with some of his most involved and best-sounding arrangements, make This Is a Photograph one of the best chapters in an already impressive catalog; one that finds a new artistic depth as it faces some of life's eternal concerns".

"With 'This Is A Photograph', [Morby] offers the wisest and most assured rendering of the Middle American vision he's been honing of late, one where Dylan-esque anti-singing narrates impassioned, earnest and earthen tales of family, place, love and heroes, and a crack band shakes the rafters".

"Flere af de nye sange lyder allerede ved første lyt, som om de har en vis alder, som om de har ligget og modnet godt og længe. Det kan være svært at tro, at vi har at gøre med spritnyt materiale her ... 'Bittersweet, TN' - en duet med Erin Rae - skriver sig direkte ind i den kategori af gammel-nye sange, og hvis Danmarks eget Tennessee, nemlig Tønder, skulle læse med, så book meget gerne ham her til festivalen så hurtigt som muligt. Han er født til disse kanter, til landskaber, der strækker sig mod evigheden".

"A record that feels warmer, wiser and less forced than any of his albums so far, with Morby the singer finding a more relaxed delivery and Morby the writer looking out rather than in, searching for glimmers of light in a darkened world".
