Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the final studio release of their classic era, 'Dark Album' finds Finnish progressive stalwarts Wigwam moving towards polished, slightly melancholic pop rock. The intricate arrangements are streamlined into accessible, bittersweet melodies, reflecting the changing commercial landscape of the late 1970s. It stands as a refined, low-key conclusion to their initial run.
