Listen to new songs by These New Puritans, Dipset, Leikeli47, Shame, JPEGMAFIA, Homeshake, Julian Lynch, Ibibio Sound Machine, Com Truise and more.

This week’s Notable Releases include Joey Purp’s massive step forward, Yves Tumor’s move towards vocal-oriented experimental pop, Pig Destroyer’s reinvention, and more.

The Primals are fronted by Darkest Hour vocalist John Henry and also include members of Dead To Fall and The Explosion, but their John Reis-produced debut LP sounds more like ’90s Foo Fighters or Torche.
