There’s so much good music out in the ether that sometimes it’s difficult to parse through all of it. Every week The Daily Music Report will do the hard work for you and highlight the best releases available on streaming services.
This week we’re highlighting new music from Bonnie “Prince” Billy, L.S. Dunes, and Red Telephone.
Bonnie “Prince” Billy – The Purple Bird
Produced by David “Ferg” Ferguson, Will Oldham’s The Purple Bird blends classic country traditions with Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s signature style. From the bluegrass-tinged ‘Our Home’ with Tim O’Brien to the dark intensity of ‘London May,’ the album showcases his depth as a songwriter. With wry humor on ‘Tonight With the Dogs I’m Sleeping’ and reflection on hardship in ‘Is My Living in Vain?’ Oldham crafts one of his most focused and inspired records, embracing home and community.
Standout Songs: ‘Turned To Dust (Rolling On),’ ‘London May,’ ‘The Water’s Fine,’ and ‘Our Home.’

L.S. Dunes – Violet
L.S. Dunes’ Violet cements the band’s evolution beyond mere supergroup status, refining their sound while pushing past the shadows of their previous projects. The album balances raw energy and careful craftsmanship with a dynamic interplay between intensity and nuance. Anthony Green’s vocals remain central, but his approach is more restrained, allowing the band’s chemistry to shine. While not every experiment lands, Violet is a bold step forward—proof that L.S. Dunes are not just honoring their legacies, but actively expanding them.
Standout Songs: ‘Fatal Deluxe,’ ‘Violet,’ ‘Machines,’ ‘Paper Tigers,’ and ‘Forgiveness.’
