Listen to the music

A Revival of Timeless Rock

“The Trilogy: Part I” is a reissue of material that began taking shape as early as the 90s, featuring a mix of timeless classics and newer songs. Niklas Bursell describes the album as “diverse rock to enjoy,” a perfect summary of the musicianship that pervades the entire work. The tracks on the album have been renovated and polished to give a refreshed touch to the nostalgic rock that Bursell started writing decades ago. The album’s unique character comes from the skillful blending of old and new influences, making each song feel both current and nostalgic.
 

A Process Filled with Joy and Pride

Producing and releasing “The Trilogy: Part I” has been a significant and emotional journey for Niklas Bursell and Dodgers’ Dive. Experiencing and releasing this album with the band was a great triumph. This process was filled with both challenges and joy, where each step contributed to the final result. For Bursell, it was an important achievement to see his work come to life again and to share it with the world. With support from KMR, Bursell felt that Dodgers’ Dive had finally found a way forward. The album is just the beginning of a trilogy, which makes it even more special. After all, the trilogy is the first of its kind.

A Personal Story in Musical Form

One of the most touching parts of the album is the song “I Don’t Have You,” which Niklas Bursell wrote for his daughter Nova after a difficult time in his life. “The song has a special place in my heart,” he says. It is a loving gesture towards his daughter, and the song has deep personal significance for Bursell. During the creation process, he had many special moments, including support from his mother who helped with food and refreshments during long studio sessions. With “The Trilogy: Part I,” listeners not only get a fantastic musical experience but also a glimpse into Bursell’s personal story and dedication. This album is more than just music; it is a part of Bursell’s life and passion now ready to be shared with the world.
