The second chapter of Diplo's country adventure is subtitled Swamp Servant but the mini-LP itself -- six songs, less than half the length of the first chapter -- doesn't wallow in the mud and murk, not even with the presence of country grungester Koe Wetzel. It's a breezy affair, so effervescent that even cranky Sturgill Simpson gets down to a refurbished disco beat. Swamp Servant moves swiftly and softly, cycling through cameos by Lily Rose, Paul Cauthen, Morgan Wade, Parker McCollum, and Kodak Black, a cast of characters that runs the gamut from the mainstream to cult sensations. It's a lot of personality but Diplo chooses to sand all their rough edges so they suit his needs; their varying vocal grains don't add personality or hooks, they merely provide texture to his rhythms. Apart from the featured artists, very little of this reads as country: maybe McCollum adds a touch of lonesome to "Lonely Long" and Cauthen sings with a weathered growl, but this all plays like shiny dance-pop. Diplo polishes all these cameos so it shimmers alluringly, yet this is also light enough to blow away on its own breeze.

Album review

The second chapter of Diplo's country adventure is subtitled Swamp Servant but the mini-LP itself -- six songs, less than half the length of the first chapter -- doesn't wallow in the mud and murk, not even with the presence of country grungester Koe Wetzel. It's a breezy affair, so effervescent that even cranky Sturgill Simpson gets down to a refurbished disco beat. Swamp Servant moves swiftly and softly, cycling through cameos by Lily Rose, Paul Cauthen, Morgan Wade, Parker McCollum, and Kodak Black, a cast of characters that runs the gamut from the mainstream to cult sensations. It's a lot of personality but Diplo chooses to sand all their rough edges so they suit his needs; their varying vocal grains don't add personality or hooks, they merely provide texture to his rhythms. Apart from the featured artists, very little of this reads as country: maybe McCollum adds a touch of lonesome to "Lonely Long" and Cauthen sings with a weathered growl, but this all plays like shiny dance-pop. Diplo polishes all these cameos so it shimmers alluringly, yet this is also light enough to blow away on its own breeze.
