Contingency Song

"Contingency Song" is a song by the American musician Jane Remover. It was first released as a single by DeadAir Records on November 16, 2022. The song was remastered for Remover's second studio album, Census Designated (2023). The two versions of the song differ in length and production. Remover wrote and produced the songs; they mixed the album version, while the single and album versions were mastered by Zeroh and Hector Vega, respectively.

"Contingency Song" is a ballad in the shoegaze and drone genres, built around a persistent buzz, slowed-down sounds of sirens, and howling wind. The lyrics are about a collapsing romantic relationship, self-harm, and the apocalypse. Over the course of the song, the instrumental grows in intensity until it conceals Remover's vocals and ends in near-silence. Music critics praised "Contingency Song" for its atmospheric shoegaze production.
