PRESS QUOTES: “Michael Ray Pfeifer & The Nasty Notes set expectations for their music before you even hear it. Their record The Higher You Climb has the listener sifting through stories that cobbles together patches of sound to make an alt-country album out of the remains. It’s raw and will stay with you after the first listen.”
-- Youa Vang, City Pages
