Owen Pallett has shared the video for the title track of his very good album In Conflict. Directed by Jason Last, it’s a video with quiet moments of conflict and long blank stares into the camera. Meghan Collison co-stars; watch it below via Nowness.
Pallett said about the song:
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. 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.
