Synopsis
Star Slinger's "Mornin'" is less a conventional narrative video than a fast-moving visual collage. Bright colors, looping shapes, kaleidoscopic patterns, distorted imagery, and vintage-inspired effects pulse and shift in time with the track's upbeat electronic groove. Human figures and abstract forms appear, dissolve, and recombine as the video moves through a playful psychedelic landscape. Its emphasis is on rhythm, texture, and sensory momentum rather than character or plot, turning the song into a colorful audiovisual trip.
Factoids & Trivia
- "Mornin'" comes from Star Slinger's 2010 beat tape and debut album, "Volume 1," where it opens the record.
- The video was released online in February 2011, during the period when Star Slinger was attracting attention for his self-released productions and sample-based electronic sound.
- Contemporary coverage emphasized that the clip does not rely on an obvious storyline. Its appeal comes from the way its bright, kaleidoscopic imagery mirrors the track's buoyant mood.
- The visual style combines psychedelic manipulation with retro-looking effects, making the video feel closer to an animated collage or visualizer than a performance piece.
- "Mornin'" was also associated with Star Slinger's free "Bedroom Joints" EP campaign, which arrived shortly before the video appeared.
- The official upload describes the piece as a video by Alan Jensen, while the Vimeo presentation identifies Jensen with the alias Ghostclatter.
