Captain Murphy is the rapping AlterEgoActing of underground beatsmith, IDM, and experimental electronic music producer (and erstwhile Creator/AdultSwim bumper-music composer) Flying Lotus, real name Steven Ellison (born October 7, 1983).
The Captain is clearly bent on making a mythology for himself, his songs are unashamedly strange, and many (''especially'' "The Ritual") deal implicitly or overtly with cults and cult leaders, and each has been accompanied by an animated clip to go along with the song (except "Shake Weight", which used an edited version of a pre-existing video by another band).
On November 15th, 2012, Captain Murphy released ''DuΔlity'', a combination mixtape and film collage (the tape's music is set to the collage), it deals, again, pretty explicitly with cults. Soon after it dropped, Lotus and Murphy were outed as the same person, ending widespread speculation as to the Captain's identity.
'''Discography'''
* ''DuΔlity'' -- mixtape/film collage
* ''DuΔlity Deluxe Edition'' -- The mixtape divided into tracks, along with a bonus track (his version of TNGHT's "Shake Weight")
----
!!Tropes that apply to Captain Murphy
* AnimatedMusicVideo: "Video" might be a stretch, but each song he's put out so far has been accompanied by a short, animated clip.
* EarlyBirdCameo: As an overlooked clue to Captain Murphy's true identity, his signature EvilLaugh can be heard several times through Flying Lotus's "Cosmogramma".
* EldritchAbomination: A video released by Adult Swim implies he has become this.
* EvilLaugh: One sampled from somewhere has shown up on every song he's yet released. One of Creator/MarkHamill's (as The Joker) gets sampled on "Killing Joke" as well.
* EvilSoundsDeep: And how. He uses a pitch-shifter to change the pitch of his voice up and down, but it's usually deep enough to qualify for this. Sometimes the inverse is used as well.
* FauxToGuide: ''DuΔlity'' is partly about how to become a cult leader. Disturbingly, it seems to be sampled from a real how-to on the same subject.
* {{Motormouth}}: Parodied in "Mighty Morphin' Foreskin", he sounds like he's going to launch into a fairly standard fast-rap verse, but it quickly degenerates into gibberish.
* OnceAnEpisode: His laugh, see EvilLaugh above.
* {{Sampling}}: Constantly. Some sources include ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', ''VideoGame/StreetFighter'', and a documentary on cult leaders. And that's just "Mighty Morphin' Foreskin".
* SecretIdentity: He's Flying Lotus. Confirmed as of November 29th, 2012.
* VirginSacrifice: The end of "The Ritual".
