Whiskey Jack and Kiera Jas are like coffee and biscuits, incredible alone, and even better together, and that truly shines through in ‘Old Expressions’.
Coming together after landing on several show line-ups, the Boorloo/Perth collab of Whiskey Jack (Jack Dacheff) and Kiera Jas feels like fate. With Whiskey Jack praised for his nomadic style, smooth sound, timeless vocals, and poetic lyricism, and Kiera Jas adored for her bright melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and multi-instrumental talents, the combination of the two is a golden-hued celebration of storytelling though song – bringing a contemporary take to the classic sound of Australiana.
The duo has performed together across several Perth venues and even curated their intimate launch event in Fremantle known as ‘Soak in the Folk’, hosted at Hybrid Warehouse. Their stage chemistry could be soaked in like sunset light on an open verandah, resonating with fans both new and old.
Now with this folk/alt-country single in the form of ‘Old Expressions’, they weave tales of love together through lilting harmonies and homespun instrumentation. With Kiera Jas on electric guitar and Jack Dacheff on acoustic, Amy Skellern on Cello, and Andrew Lawson’s seamless production. This song is comforting, with two distinct vocals, a leading cello, and a rhythmic bass line coming together to illustrate an honest reflection of natural human behavior. It’s nostalgic and softly luminous, with a slice of whimsy.
Their song pulls you into its world from the very first note, letting the listener drink in the themes of the ever-changing nature of relationships that Kiera Jas describes as,
“Even when a relationship feels old and familiar, you still find golden moments together—those deep, intimate understandings of each other’s expressions and mannerisms that no one else would notice the way you do.”
Jack Dacheff adds:
“A key theme in Old Expressions is an awareness when everything is seemingly perfect, a reluctance for change regardless of its inevitability. Taking photos to remember, the unravelling of a relationship as it deepens and the pleasant charm of a surprise.”
