The Sextones unleash a live video for “Beck & Call”, a new extract from their upcoming album

Pre-order the new album “Love Can’t Be Borrowed” (out Sept 29th): RK Webshop | Bandcamp

Record Kicks presents “Beck & Call”, a new extract from The Sextones’ awaited album “Love Can’t Be Borrowed”, produced by Monophonics frontman Kelly Finnigan and scheduled for release on September 29th via Record Kicks. The new extract “Beck & Call” is out now on digital platforms, watch the live video filmed at the historic Washoe County Downtown Library in Reno, NV. Thanks to a collaboration with our mates at Ohio’s Soul institution Colemine Records, the track is also coming out on limited edition 7” out on August 18th on black and “opaque pink” vinyl colors. The 45s are available for pre-order on Colemine Records’ website.
 
“Beck & Call” follows the first two singles “Better Late Than Never” and “Without You”, which received worldwide support from stations such as KCRW Santa Monica, KEXP Seattle, WYEP Pittsburg, BBC Radio 6 UK, FIP Radio France and Radio Capital Italy just to name a few. Sophisticated, suave, and masterfully composed, both the album and the 45 are 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.

New addition to the RK roster: Welcome to The Sextones

Record Kicks is proud to present American Soul combo The Sextones, the new addition to the RK roster.

Please give a warm welcome to The Sextones, the new addition to the RK roster and family! Get ready to dive into their analog Soul straight from the High Desert of Reno, Nevada. Stay tuned, more news coming very soon…

Founded in 2015, The Sextones built a devoted following across the West Coast before breaking out internationally with their self-released 2017 debut album Moonlight Vision, quickly finding success in Japan via P-Vine Records. Soon after, the band began touring extensively across the U.S. and Europe, quickly garnering international attention from soul music fans, record collectors, and critics alike. A steady roster of national performances cemented their reputation as critical and festival favorites, with Okayplayer describing Moonlight Vision as “The result of a Herculean work ethic, mixed with a Sherlock Holmes-esque attention to detail and a nuance that can be appreciated by true music lovers.” Live For Live Music detailed their musical approach, writing: “By taking classic sounds, modernizing them, and making them their own, the Sextones have carved out a niche for themselves within the modern funk and soul movement, and we are digging every second of it.” And PopDust praised the group as “A glowing reminder of where music came from, and serves as a vehicle to light a fire under a new generation.”

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 and Daniel’s recent engagement in the soul/jazz group Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. Flexing their creative muscle individually has only strengthened The Sextones’ collective songwriting ability and heralds their formidable return to the spotlight with their upcoming record. With their recent signing to heavy-weight soul label, 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.
