Passing Worth

With the release of their full length album Getting Over You, Passing Worth brings a vintage feel to indie pop. Lush with soulful guitars, addicting choruses, and beautifully full string sections, the record reaches an aesthetic of listening to an album released in the late 60’s. Though the songs can be very diverse from one and other, there is a glue that holds the album together almost like a concept album. Most importantly, the record never loses touch with the emotional platform great songs are built from. Passing Worth has always been about the music and stories that music tells. The group seemed to form simply by what the music needed. Drummer Pat Chapman and singer Alex Davis started working on early versions of the Passing Worth songs back in early 2012. Pat then introduced Moses Andrews III on bass along with organs and additional vocals. Once Moses settled in to the group he brought in Cassy Renee on vocals, a long time musical partner. Cassy fit right in bringing a smooth soulfulness to the songs. It was shortly thereafter that Pat and Moses began conceptualizing a jazzy guitar element to the songs. That’s where Jonathan Knott came into play. While Jon could only play for a short spell in 2013, his guitar elevated the creative capacity of the music. It would not be long before Moses would introduce Alex Skiro a very talented guitarist finishing his studies at Winthrop. The winning combination that makes Passing Worth deeply musical and original.
