Before Flying Lotus came out as the masked rapper Captain Murphy, we fell in love with his mixtape Duality.

One of the most prominent tracks on the tape is the sinisterly sweet “The Killing Joke” which lasts a mere 2 minutes. Today, official visuals have appeared on the Captain’s YouTube page.

Starting with a sample of Os Mutantes’ “Ave Lucifer,” we’re introduced to the black and white images that flash in and out of focus throughout the clip. When Murphy takes over for the verse, a pair of shimmering lips dance around a non existent face, hidden by a hoodie. After a Dark Knight sample, two eyes, devoid of life blink into focus to accompany the lips and deliver the second verse.

Chilling and captivating, the video encapsulates the feeling attained when listening to Captain Murphy’s début. You can download the Duality mixtape here.

In related news, it looks like the tape will be seeing a vinyl pressing this year. Yes, a test pressing has appeared in the hands of FlyLo. I am excite.
