Owen Pallett’s new video for In Conflict’s title cut opens with a quote from Ned Rorem’s The Paris Diary, describing the nature of affection, and then moves into shots featuring couples trying to establish a connection.  

“The song is about men; the ghost of my father whispering to me about human desire, and it’s about this moment in your life when you start to recognize that your body is a series of apparatus and you start to covet the bodies of people younger than you,” says Palett via press release. “I don’t identify as male, I identify as gender-queer, but I am very sympathetic whenever I see men throwing aside everything they have for the love of somebody new. It’s been the subject of so much poetry.”

Watch the Jason Last and Jamie Rubiano directed cut below. In Conflict is out now on Domino.
