Let me start with this, I'm a closet Michael Cera fan. That's a lie, I'm an out and out Cera fanboy. My favourite film is Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, that's all you really need to know about me. So when I found out that the king of the awkward smile had released music I was dead with excitement.
The result is True That, a bizarre and jagged lo-fi album that doesn't fit into any genre. At one point it's a mess of acoustic guitars and dodgy vocals (Steady Now). Then the next track it's an instrumental reminiscent of Jacco Gardner's psychedelic piano playing. Undoubtedly many of these songs are morose. Ruth tells the story of a mother who lost her child during pregnancy and is tear jerkingly low key, it is a certain gem in the album.
