Boorloo/Perth-based indie-folk band Jack Davies and The Bush Chooks have just announced their alt-country debut album, ‘The Nighttime, The Wind, The Crocodile’, out Thursday, February 1. Accompanying this announcement is their latest single off the record, ‘Clothes Peg’ – produced by lead vocalist Jack Davies and Broderick Madden Scott.
‘Clothes Peg’ weaves introspective lyrics with delicate threads of amber vocals against an ethereal instrumental backdrop. Gentle guitar plucking unfurls into a dreamy resonance, offering glimpses of the lead singer Jack Davies’ contemplative musings. The arrangement unveils new textures in a melodic ebb and flow, ending on a lingering cadence of self-reflection.
Jack Davies talks about the inspiration behind ‘Clothes Peg’:“‘Clothes Peg’ is about uncertainty, change and wonder. It was written about being in the depths of a confusing and difficult time in life. My desk has a window facing a tree, a clothesline and a brick wall. The wind would come through and make these things move and leaves blow around. The song is a musing on that imagery, connecting it to the feeling of being stuck and wanting to find a way to move forward. The answer is blowing in the wind, but the wind is chaotic and hard to follow. I don’t want to just let it dry me out, I want to find a way to go along with it, move at the same pace as the crazy hectic tornado that life can often amount to.”
In the live arena, the band will close the year, performing at Fremantle Arts Centre and celebrating New Year’s at Woodford Folk Festival. From this, the band will embark on a national tour to support their upcoming album, finishing with a homecoming show in Boorloo/Perth. They have previously supported WA luminaries Spacey Jane, The Waifs, Stella Donnelly and have sold out multiple headline shows nationwide.
Jack Davies and The Bush Chooks were selected as triple j Unearthed’s Feature Artist, as well as their music video for the single ‘Half Frozen Beer’ being featured as rage’s ‘Wild One’. The band has also won the WAM Award for ‘Best Folk/Singer-Songwriter Act’ for four consecutive years since 2020. Their previous releases have garnered widespread recognition on Spotify, Apple Music and triple j, along with support in the blogosphere from NME, Pilerats, The AU Review, LivewireAU, MILKY and numerous Australian community radio stations.
‘Clothes Peg’ is available worldwide now
‘The Nighttime, The Wind, The Crocodile’ will be available worldwide on Thursday, February 1

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
