The lead single, "The Traveller (Into The Light)," and its music video are available to stream now, and the full album can be pre-saved on Frontier Music Srl's official website.

"Prog still lived deeply inside the four of us, but with Asia we sliced away the fat," Wetton said while reflecting on their formation, according to Louder. Wetton was also extremely proud of the lyrics and says that "it's the only song I've ever heard that begins with an apology. It didn't fare too badly for something thrown into the pot as a bit of an experiment right at the end of the session."

Downes described the album as "a joy to make," and started writing the album with Wetton back in 2015, a year after they released their most recent album, Gravitas. Unfortunately, in January 2017, Wetton passed away in his sleep at 67 years old, and was battling illness and health issues.
Indigo has 16 tracks, including collaborations with Steve Howe and Mike Portnoy. Most of the album was recorded throughout 2025 and produced by the band, with mixing and mastering done by John Mitchell.
Indigo will be released on streaming platforms on Nov. 6. The lead single, "The Traveller (Into The Light)," is out now.
