Mum said, if the bastards get you down,
not to spend your time just moping round at home.
And Mum said, "You can try so very hard, but sometimes, sometimes, it just won't."
I knew her words would haunt me in some strange, prophetic way,
and now they're coming for me, oh, they'll be here any day.
Because if anything can go wrong,
if anything can go wrong,
Oh no, you know it will.
I had a master plan to follow through -
Didn't think that I'd be sifting through the ash.
And I put all my money into hope
back before the price of narcissism crashed.
I felt the gambler's ruin in the stacking of the deck
And now it's coming for me, oh, an arrow in my neck, because
If anything can go wrong,
if anything can go wrong,
Oh no, you know it will.
You know it will, oh honey,
these words will kill.
And when they kill you dead,
you'll remember what she said...

Much-loved genres collide to form something unbearable. Fin Nicol-Taylor leads a grubby troupe of assorted musically-literate mercenaries to fight the evil forces of good taste and restraint. Fin's Contingency Plan creates music for the new modern age.
Excellent lo-fi experimental psychedelic pop from London. "The Doula's Tulpa" wins award for most interesting title, and also the most creative use of a tremolo pedal since the Rumble. Fin's Contingency Plan
Atmospheric pop artist Aiden Bradley further refines his indie-folk-pop sound on Boat Ramps. The title track "Boat Ramps" has stood the test of time and his arrangement skills shine. Worth a spin. Fin's Contingency Plan
Brisbane surreal comedy rock act Canny and Hall knock it out of the park with two ridiculous tunes on their debut. "The Beach" finally describes my constant, unending experiences at the beach. Quality Fin's Contingency Plan
A sprawling, 25-song set from Pete Yorn complete with covers of Springsteen and The Smiths capture him at his unguarded best. Bandcamp New & Notable May 16, 2020
