Pave The Jungle announce details of their debut EP

Commenting on the track, songwriter and front woman Rachael Whittle says. “I got the inspiration for ‘Ants’ after reading Flowers for Algernon. The book is about a mouse named Algernon who undergoes surgery in order to increase his intelligence. The surgery is then also performed on a man named Charlie Gordon. Charlie is the first human to undergo this surgery and the reader follows his journey via a series of progress reports he writes himself. What struck me about the story were the themes surrounding the treatment of intellectually disabled people—how. As Charlie’s intelligence increases, his childlike naivety and love for the smaller things in life decreases. This prompted lyrics like ‘comfort in naivety inside’.” Photo by Johnny Haynes
