WL//WH Video Of The Day: HEARTRACER “Streets of Dublin” (Official Music Video)

Video Of The Day   Heartracer

Named after a tachycardia diagnosis, Heartracer, the Richmond, Virginia-based alternative rock / synth-pop outfit, formed in 2012, made of brothers and founder members Chris Cosby (keyboards/lead vocals), and Chip Cosby (guitar/vocals), with the addition of Wes Tatum (Bass, Keyboards, Vocals), has unveiled the  Official Music Video created by the Sunroom, for the band’s  “Irish-American rock anthem” single “Streets of Dublin,” taken from the upcoming, more rock oriented, third studio albumNighttime Fever,” due on next October 23.

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, their sound provides a wide-ranging palette of interwoven synths, guitars, and swooning vocals that ultimately embalm the listener with nostalgic cinematic wonder.

A dynamic, vivid and soulful tapestry about a stumble, fall, and letting go, “Streets of Dublin”  fleshes out a chugging drive of trotting mid-tempo drum beats, elastic bass throbs, and rapid acoustic scrapes, to carry spirited, nostalgic male vocals through a vibrant, eclectic realm made of uplifting Celtic pipe melodies, beautiful lush sparkling guitars, and jagged radiating riffs, building toward a jam-out interlude, accentuated by the passion of back-up falling cries, into a triumphant finale, “It’s all right, I don’t need it anymore.”

The Official Music Video by the Sunroom begins in black and white, with Chip Cosby sitting on the side of a goose pond whilst writing the song Streets of Dublin”. Chris Cosby leads colorful flashbacks to Patrik Henry’s Pub & Grille, where a group of friends enjoy drinks and lively conversation, to give further insight into the lyrics while syncing seamlessly with the upbeat vibe of the soundtrack.
