About the Bands
Heartracer on Shockoe Sessions Live! April 16th 2024
Heartracer is an #altpop project formed by brothers Chris and Chip Cosby. The name was derived from Chris’ tachycardia diagnosis, a disorder which causes the heart to beat faster at random intervals. Combining modern production methods with the classic pop songwriting reminiscent of simpler times, Heartracer’s sound is that of anthemic grandeur. Unabashedly drawing on inspiration from the pop icons of the past such as Tears for Fears and Aha, their sound provides a wide ranging pallete of interwoven synths, guitars, and swooning vocals that ultimately embalm the listener with nostalgic synth magic. Joined by Wes Tatum on the bass guitar Heartracer has performed with several internationally known artists such as #walkthemoon , #thirdeyeblind The Night Game, #futureislands #joywave and many more. Heartracer has worked with the producers of M83, St. Lucia, Passion Pit, Beck, and Jukebox The Ghost.
