[Russell Crowe](http://www.people.com/people/russell%5Fcrowe "undefined") and [Hugh Jackman](http://www.people.com/people/hugh%5Fjackman "undefined"), move over. Another actor Down Under also wants to be a musician. And when he’s this endearingly strange about it, we’re not complaining.

[Guy Pearce](http://www.peoplestylewatch.com/people/stylewatch/package/article/0,,20768377%5F20776580,00.html "undefined") quietly released an album called _Broken Bones_ in November and … well, it’s actually pretty good.

Pearce’s fluttery, high voice has hints of Jeff Buckley and Radiohead’s Tom Yorke, and the mercurial 47-year-old Australian, last seen in _Iron Man 3_, wrote and produced the record himself.

Apparently, Pearce has been making music since 1987 but has held off on releasing anything until now.

“Every time I did an interview in the late ’80s and early ’90s and mentioned I made music the journalist would roll their eyes and go, ‘Not another f—— actor who’s going to release a single,’ ” Pearce [told Australia’s News Corp](http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/music/actor-guy-pearce-releases-first-album-broken-bones-in-november/story-e6frfn09-1227016958767 "undefined").

Pearce’s new single, “Fly All the Way,” is a step in a new direction, at least in terms of its video. The song itself is a kind of glammy, sort-of grungy rock track, but the video (directed by Tim White) seems to be some kind of indictment of infomercial culture, or capitalism, or celebrity endorsements or … something.

It’s not exactly clear, but Pearce wears a variety of costumes and imitates Steve Jobs, Billy Mays and a variety of other TV pitchmen and businessmen. It also gets somewhat NSFW by the end.

And while it’s no [“Respect Yourself,”](http://www.people.com/article/www.youtube.com/watch?v=K43BZ0FSOAY "undefined") we’ll take it.
