Delafaye is the performance name of Lousianna one-man-band Andrew Shockley who home records , and plays all the instruments on his tracks including this new one. ‘Anyway’ is dreamy and melodic – it’s an anthem of non-commitment and active avoidance with a hint at deeper issues at work “I wish I was fine / I wish I really was / I hope you and me, stay together for a while”. It’s burnt out and downbeat, and it sticks in the mind.
