The Weeknd’s video for “Twenty Eight,” one of the previously-unreleased tracks from his mixtape reissue Trilogy, is a tough thing to untangle. It has something to do with European talk shows and ghost women and utterly depressing strip parties. But Nabil, the ascendent music-video visionary, directed it, which means it looks great and it’s probably worth parsing. Watch the clip at the Weeknd’s site.

Trilogy is out now on Universal Republic.
