The Weeknd has dropped a new music video for “Big Sleep,” a track from Hurry Up Tomorrow, the companion album to the film of the same name. The song was co-written and co-produced by disco pioneer Giorgio Moroder, who’s also featured in the clip, which was directed by Gaspar Noé.
In signature Noé fashion, the video for “Big Sleep” is trippy and disorienting, and a perfect match for the brooding but atmospheric track. The clip follows an elderly man, played by Hiep Tran Nghia, as he bobbles through a deserted city and encounters the disembodied heads of the Weeknd and Moroder towering ominously over him in the sky.

The new video follows yesterday’s announcement of seven additional Europe and U.K. dates being added to the Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour.
