The shuffling, quiet melancholia of ‘Sargasso Sea’ is taken from Lancashire native Rob St.John’s debut LP ‘Weald’, released on 12″ gatefold LP through Song, by Toad records of Edinburgh on the 21st of November, 2011. Watch the video below featuring wonderful found footage from a homefilm of a mid 20th C American carnival, found half-degraded in a 1960s suburban basement and shared through archive.org under Creative Commons.
