Owen Pallett's a busy man. In the year leading up to his fourth full-length album, In Conflict—released on May 13th through Domino Records—the musician arranged the orchestral pieces for Arcade Fire's Reflektor, contributed his talents to Taylor Swift and Linkin Park, composed the Oscar-nominated score of Spike Jonze's Her with Will Butler, and published a series of articles in which he deconstructed pop songs by Katy Perry and Daft Punk using music theory. His razor-sharp approach to music from a hodgepodge of angles and disciplines has established him as one of the premier maestros of the modern era.
