Love Can't Be Borrowed

A 1 track funk single (3m 48s) — released September 13th 2023 on Record Kicks

Record Kicks presents "Love Can't Be Borrowed", the third single from American Soul combo The Sextones' upcoming new album, produced by Monophonics frontman, Kelly Finnigan.

The Sextones announce "Love Can't Be Borrowed", the third single from their upcoming new album. Out on September 13thon digital platforms, the track is the album's namesake, it brings the mid-tempo soul magic and is a brilliant example of what to expect from the awaited LP. Produced by Monophonics frontman Kelly Finnigan, the new album Love Can't Be Borrowed will hit the streets on September 29th on LP, CD and digital via Milan-based label Record Kicks.

Sophisticated, suave, and masterfully composed, the album is a sonic love letter to late 60s and early 70s soul, nodding to the giants of the genre and bowing to its unsung heroes. Drawing from their upbringings steeped in the sound, front man and guitarist Mark Sexton and bassist Alexander Korostinsky knew they wanted an album to highlight their old-school bona fides while leaving room for innovation. They found that balance in marathon recording sessions at Finnigan's Transistor Sound studio in San Rafael, California.

Friends since childhood, The Sextones are Mark Sexton (guitar, vocals), Alexander Korostinsky (bass), Daniel Weiss (drums), and Christopher Sexton (piano). Having known each other for so long, their musical chemistry is effortless and forms the foundation of the band's longevity and creative workflow. Despite their bond, each member has been able to channel their creativity into other acclaimed groups—Alexander and Mark with their cinematic-soul project Whatitdo Archive Group, whose acclaimed debut LP The Black Stone Affair was released on Record Kicks in 2021, and Daniel with the soul/jazz group Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio (Colemine Records). Flexing their creative muscle individually has only strengthened The Sextones' collective songwriting ability and heralds their formidable return to the spotlight. With their recent signing to Record Kicks, the self-made heroes of soul begin a new chapter in their sonic journey, ready to scale new heights and plumb deep emotional depths in service of the genre they love.
