The path to actor-turned-musician stardom is littered with cautionary tales, but Michael Cera is making a good go at it. The Canadian actor has just released a surprise album on Bandcamp – and guess what? It's actually pretty alright. 

Entitled True That, the record features 18 tracks that meander between pleasant bedroom pop and lo-fi folk, and are largely instrumental. Cera also covers the song "Clay Pigeons" by Austin singer-songwriter Blaze Foley. 

The Bandcamp album page doesn't offer any extra notes about the record, though it does provide this very Cera-ish bio: "Michael Cera was born in Canada in 1988 at the tender age of zero."

Jonah Hill – Cera's co-star in This Is The End and Superbad – brought the album to the internet's attention when he tweeted a link to its Bandcamp page. "My great friend Michael Cera not only is a brilliant actor," Hill wrote, "he also makes great music."

The album seems to have found favour among Bandcamp listeners too. One Australian fan writes: "Whether this truly is Micheal Cera or just some sneaky /mu/tant doesn't matter. This is a fantastically lo-fi album with a folky tinge."

True That isn't Cera's only musical output thus far. He's played bass for Sub Pop-signed act Mister Heavenly on occasion and contributed backing vocals and mandolin to Weezer's 2010 album, Hurley.
