NEW SIGNINGS
LISTEN TO JULY’S ‘NEW SIGNINGS’ AGENCY PLAYLIST HERE
IQ recently partnered with a number of agencies to compile a monthly playlist of new music released by some of their new signings. To highlight just two of the tracks on June’s playlist, here are two tracks by new acts on the rosters of Pitch & Smith and Solo Agency.
LIME
B
righton quartet, LIME, jump over genre boundaries with an energy that oozes from every corner, weaving post-punk foundations with earworm melodies and razor-sharp, tongue-in-cheek lyrics. With debut single Surf N Turf already passing 30,000 streams and landing a spot on the BBC 6 Music playlist, the band are set to follow up with new music in late summer and a busy live schedule (fingers crossed!), including supports with Happyness, Junodream and more.

oetic lyricism, such as those on Abyss, is one sure-fire way Taylor Castro sets herself apart from the oversaturated market of pop music. The instrumentation indicates Castro as someone with a keen eye on the trends of the music industry, with her outstanding lyrics tucked away in a package disguised as the hit of the summer. The fairy tale like Abyss is one of the finest feats of storytelling you will see in the charts. This is a talent caught right at the beginning of her journey, and we are privileged to share it with her.
