Orchestral pop genius Owen Pallett has revisited his 2014 effort In Conflict to release a new video for the song "The Passions."

The colourful clip from director Brian Vu utilizes colourful backdrops and intimate sessions with models to interpret the nuanced arrangement. It's a perfect accompaniment to the song.

In a statement, Pallett said the following about the track: "I wrote 'The Passions' after a period during which my definitions of 'love' were being redefined. Queers are united by our desires, by our prioritization of the needs of our bodies and souls over the needs of tradition and societal structures. But I feel there is more to it than that. Our lovers are our family, our brothers and sisters as well as our sexual partners. 'The Passions' is about the blurry distinction between these definitions."
