Beck & Call

Sophisticated, suave, and masterfully composed, this track 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.
With inspiration from artists like The Moments, Baby Huey, The Delfonics, and
especially the late Curtis Mayfield, this 7" is drenched in the era-defining tone that
can only come from its origins on analog tape.
From the first notes of "Beck & Call", the songs shimmer and glow
from one moment to the next like a summer's drive with the windows down, with a
steady cruise anthem like "Daydreaming" floating by like a cool breeze.
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.
