Got plans yet for Thursday night, May 17? Want to see Racing Heart at The Space in Hamden? I suddenly have a pair of tickets to give away — details below.

The New York group plays folky baroque pop music on its debut, “To Walk Beside That Ghost,” which came out last month. Singer and songwriter Mathias Tjønn moved to New York from Oslo, via stops in Europe, South America and New England, a nomadic sojourn that informed the songs on the record. The music is pretty, sometimes sprightly, and understated, and Racing Heart had help in the studio from musicians who play with Sufjan Stevens and St. Vincent.

To win tickets, let’s hear in the comments what makes your heart race, in 50 words or fewer. The deadline is 11 a.m. Thursday, May 17. I’ll pick a winner at random from the comments, and notify you by e-mail if you win. (You don’t have you use your real name in the comments, but make sure you enter your real e-mail address in the appropriate field so I can get in touch.)

Ready? Have it at!
