Check it out," along with the first track from Cera's album, an instrumental called 'uhohtrouble'.

The 18-track album called True That is lo-fi in nature and spans genres indie, folk, and piano doodles. He has tagged it as alternative, dirty, hello, home recording, modest music. New York. The album is mostly instrumental, though Cera's breezy vocals can be heard a number of on tracks, including 'Clay Pigeons' a cover of American songwriter Blaze Foley. True That has a price tag of $US7, with three bonus tracks upon purchase.
