Plastic Beach, 2010
Written by Lou Reed, Damon Albarn, Jamie Hewlett and Remi Kabaka Jr.
A song, like its album, that evokes an environmental apocalyptic wasteland. An unusually dry and lugubrious-sounding Reed rattles off fragment-visions of an artificial, toxic world over a deceptively bright beat. "Well, me, I like plastics and digital foils / Could wrap up the sound and protect the girls." Reed's detached, could-not-give-a-shit vocals really sell the whole package. Indifference is what will get us in the end, until all we have is misplaced hope. "It's got to come and find us / All we are is dust."
