Aless Arias

Sydney-based artist Aless Arias makes a bold return with ‘Deep End’, a moody and electric slice of guitar-driven indie rock that captures the rush and uncertainty of falling for someone new. Produced by Tim Carr (Flea, Matt Corby, Julia Stone), the track hits that perfect balance between grit and tenderness — a swirling mix of crunchy guitars, raw vocals, and emotional vulnerability.

Arias describes ‘Deep End’ as being about the “push and pull of the unknown” when you like someone — that intoxicating limbo between fear and desire. The song mirrors this tension beautifully, building from smoky verses into a cathartic, hook-laden chorus that feels like a headfirst dive into the unknown. Drawing influence from early 2000s alt-rock while maintaining a distinctly modern edge, ‘Deep End’ cements Aless as one of Sydney’s most compelling emerging voices.

With past singles ‘Evolve’ and ‘45 Hours’ earning national indie radio play and critical acclaim, ‘Deep End’ feels like a powerful next chapter. It’s a taste of her forthcoming debut EP — due March 2026 — and a testament to Arias’s ability to blend emotion, melody, and bite in equal measure.
