High 5 Collective have released another video inspired by the evocative music of The Weeknd. Last year they put House of Balloons’ “The Morning” to film, and now they’ve just released a video inspired by Echoes of Silence‘s gorgeous standout, “Montreal.” As Disco Naïveté points out, the clip zeroes in on the song’s French refrain: “laisse tomber les filles,” or “leave the girls alone,” and depicts a father abusing his teenage daughter.
