Heartracer is an electronic pop project formed by Chris Cosby. The name was derived from Chris’ tachycardia diagnoses, 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 pop icons of the past such as Duran Duran 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. Performing as a quartet the band consists of Chris Cosby (keyboards/lead vocals), Chip Cosby (guitar/vocals), and Wes Tatum (Bass, Keyboards, Vocals). The brothers first came together in their home studio in Richmond, Virginia to record their debut album In Flight which was released in 2013 and has since been followed by two critically acclaimed EP's Summer Gold (2015) and Eat Your Heart Out (2016). They have performed with several nationally known artists such as Walk The Moon, Future Islands, Third Eye Blind, Banks, Priory, Joywave, and Pvris. Heartracer’s most recent material was produced by Andrew Lappin (St. Lucia, M83) and recorded at the famous Sunset Sound studios. Their upcoming material was produced by Ted Comerford (Jukebox The Ghost) and mixed by Paul David Hager (Jonas Brothers, Beck).
