Asia have shared a new single from their upcoming 14th album.
Melodic and atmospheric, the sprawling Echo Of You is the latest preview of 'Indigo', which was recorded by the British prog-rock legends' current line-up of founding keyboardist Geoff Downes, singer-bassist Harry Whitley, guitarist John Mitchell and drummer Virgil Donati. Downes commented:
"This song was part of the main writing sessions between Harry and I. It took on a whole different angle in the latter stages of development with more of a focus on electronica and a spacey production. It’s a happy uplifting tune, despite the nostalgic overtones of the lyrics, a love song with a twist. It all ends in a chaotic mix of counter themes, chord changes and features a good old-fashioned fadeout as a nod to nostalgia and I believe is a very fitting conclusion to the album – Indigo, hopefully leaving the listener on a high."
The track follows the band's previous single, The Traveller (Into The Light), which dropped last month alongside initial details of the album, due out through Frontiers Music Srl on November 6.
Recorded throughout 2025 and produced by Downes and the band, with mixing and mastering handled by John Mitchell, the long-awaited follow-up to 2014's 'Gravitas' also features two co-writes with late former singer and bassist John Wetton, Tattoo Indigo (Parts 2 & 3) and Chesapeake Bay. The latter features former guitarist, Yes' Steve Howe, while the former features Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy.
