Released in 1970, Tombstone Valentine marks a turning point for Finnish prog-rock pioneers Wigwam. Shedding some of their earlier jazz influences, the band leans into a more eclectic mix of psychedelia, melodic rock, and experimental textures that made this album a cult classic across Europe.

The title track Tombstone Valentine sets the tone with quirky charm, while cuts like Wishful Thinker and 1936 Lost in the Snow showcase the band’s adventurous arrangements and sharp lyrical edge. There’s even an electronic interludeThe Dance of the Anthropoidsthat hints at their avant-garde tendencies.

Full of unexpected turns and vintage 70s atmosphere, this is Finnish prog at its most playful and inventive. A must-have for collectors looking to explore the weirder, wonderful corners of progressive rock history.
