If the goateed star of this clip looks familiar to you, that's because it's Interpol frontman Paul Banks, who explores a new electro-tinged aesthetic as alter ego Julian Plenti on his just-released debut album, 'Julian Plenti Is Skyscraper.'

The video features a mysterious plotline involving another man and a femme fatale played by Metric's Emily Haines. "My co-stars were phenomenal. Emily and Andre are magnetic to say the least," Plenti told Spinner. As for the video's cinematic vibe, Plenti says "Javier [the director] and I had a great time discussing film influences. Roeg and Melville were top of the list." Have a look at the exclusive video premiere after the jump.
