Newcastle band Pave The Jungle have unveiled their latest single ‘Habitual Thinker’, taken from their upcoming EP The Hissing out October 9th on Cow House. The track touches on the topic of addictions by someone close. Musically backed a flaming dose of indie rock powered by revving guitar lines and thundering drumming, the cutting vocals of Rachael Whittle spearheads the launching. ‘Habitual Thinker’ follows Pave The Jungle’s previous single ‘Ants’.

Regarding the song,

“‘Habitual Thinker’ explores the idea of seeing a loved one dealing with habits and addiction. While it mainly refers to themes surrounding drugs and alcohol it also touches on habitual thought processes, particularly negative ones. These negative thoughts soon become routine over time making it harder to escape the cycle.

Tonally it was influenced by the likes of Du Blonde, Anna Calvi and White Reaper. I wanted it to be quite upbeat even though the lyrics are about something dark and personal. In a way I think this reflects how I felt when trying to confront this person about their addictions. Attempting to discuss serious matters and show I cared; however it often seemed to come out in a jovial way, making it easily brushed off.”
