Having introduced himself to L.A. audiences this summer with the single “All We Want Anymore,” singer-songwriter Stone Irr has released his new album “Performance,” a collective of heart-on-the-sleeve guitar pop from a native Midwesterner with classic influences.

For the song “Fine With Me,” Irr found a collaborator in animator Tyler Varnau, who proposed doing a CGI video for a song from the album. “‘Fine With Me’ felt like the best fit since it has a noticeable dynamic range — starting off with solo guitar and vocals and building to a full band,” Irr says. “Plus it’s a short song, so there’s a shorter amount of visuals to render!

“We wanted to do something conceptually ‘out there’ — essentially, I gave him some references (colors, art pieces, the episode of ‘The Simpsons’ where Homer eats a hallucinatory pepper) and wanted to give him free rein to interpret them as he liked. Tyler is a brilliant artist in every capacity (visually, musically, etc.), and he made a video that matched exactly what had been spinning around in my head. There’s a lot of fun and beautiful imagery in this 3D world he made, all acting as little nods to the lyrics in the song.”

It’s trippy, and all in under three minutes.
