Indigo: Orange And Black Marble 2LP

More than four decades after redefining the sound of melodic progressive rock, ASIA return in 2026 with Indigo - a studio album that bridges past, present, and future with remarkable grace and authenticity.

Now featuring Geoffrey Downes alongside an inspired new lineup - Virgil Donati, John Mitchell, and Harry Whitley - ASIA step confidently into a new era while honouring the legacy that made them one of the most iconic supergroups of all time. Recorded throughout 2025 and produced by Downes and the band, with mixing and mastering handled by John Mitchell, Indigo captures the unmistakable spirit of ASIA while injecting it with renewed vitality and purpose.
At the heart of the album lies an emotional connection to the band’s history. Indigo includes some of the final compositions written by the late John Wetton - “Tattoo Indigo (Parts 2 & 3)” and “Chesapeake Bay” - imbuing the record with a profound sense of continuity and tribute. The presence of Wetton is further felt through the extraordinary vocal performance of Harry Whitley, whose tone and phrasing evoke a striking and deeply moving resemblance to the band’s original voice.

Musically, Indigo stands as a natural continuation of ASIA’s acclaimed 21st-century output, while subtly weaving in the sonic DNA of the band’s classic early albums. From soaring melodies to richly layered arrangements, the album delivers the signature blend of accessibility and musicianship that defined hits like “Heat Of The Moment” and “Only Time Will Tell.”
The album also features special guest appearances that elevate its scope: Steve Howe contributes acoustic guitar to the evocative “Chesapeake Bay,” while Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) delivers a powerful performance on the bonus track “Tattoo Indigo (Part 3).”
Following a resurgence of live activity across the US, Japan, and Europe, ASIA are set to take Indigo on the road, with a North American tour planned for late 2026 and European dates to follow in early 2027.

With Indigo, ASIA don’t just revisit their legacy - they expand it, proving once again that their music remains as vital, resonant, and timeless as ever.
