The Sextones - New Single "Love Can't Be Borrowed"

September 13, 2023

"Love Can't Be Borrowed" is a track that brings mid-tempo soul magic and speaks to the moral expectations of a rocky relationship. It follows "Better Late Than Never," "Without You” and their latest release "Beck & Call," which all received worldwide support from radio stations and musically steps in line with them. Produced by Monophonics frontman Kelly Finnigan, the new album "Love Can't Be Borrowed" will hit the streets late this month on September 29th.

Sophisticated, suave, and skilled composed, the album is like 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, of which Record Kicksreleased the critically acclaimed debut LP “The Black Stone Affair” in 2021,and Daniel's recent engagement in 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.
