“Just listen to a few tracks and you‘ll hear why some people (well, at least your humble reviewer) can listen to this record on repeat for an entire day.” — Duluth Budgeteer News

We call ourselves The Intangibles because of the little things you can't put your finger on that make this band more than the sum of its parts. We combine influences and experience from many music genres and many parts of the world. We've all been in several other bands, some successful, some obscure, but whether we're playing bluegrass or blues, Latin or Eastern European, or straight out rock and roll, we play with a passion and respect for the story we're telling and the mood and energy we're sharing.

Press on The Animal Within:

• The Onion said: “Whether he's exploring his fears of nuclear catastrophe, or crawling from the wreckage of a broken relationship, Nordquist has a knack for expressing something very human.”
   
• Rick Mason at City Pages weighed in with: “...Animal has a mystical undercurrent fueled by haunting melodies that are etched with touches of jazz and world music. The lyrics grapple with ghosts and demons, real and imagined...”

“Life is a maze. The walls are just too high for most of us to realize it. The Intangibles are here to help us find our way through.” -- David Hanners (Journalist, winner of the Pulitzer Prize)
