If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Calvin Hobson "Love Can't Be Borrowed," the latest single from The Sextones, is just pure vintage soul. It's the kind of song that doesn't sound like a modern neo-soul track, but instead sounds like it could have been released any time in the past sixty years.

In fact, if you like any era of soul, "Love Can't Be Borrowed" is going to be irresistible for you. You can listen to "Love Can't Be Borrowed" below. The album Love Can't Be Borrowed is due out September 29 on Record Kicks, and is available for pre-order here . For more on The Sextones, check out the band's website .
