Albert Hammond Jr. dropped his latest solo effort Momentary Masters earlier this summer, and now the Strokes' six-stringer has unveiled some matching visuals for album cut "Caught by My Shadow."
 
The video is a continuation of the previously shared "Losing Touch" and was also shot and directed in Morocco by Lauren Briet. It finds Hammond Jr. stumbling around dazed on a deserted beach before engaging in a chess match with a dark, cloaked figure that is presumably the singer's titular shadow.
 
Manipulative effects add a dizzying, hallucinatory vibe to the game. Steady your stomach and check it out in the player below.
