Troller is Back with a New Music Video for "Nothing"

Last year Troller released their critically acclaimed sophomore album Graphic and followed with several handsome music videos ("Sundowner" "Not Here" and "Storm Maker" among others). Continuing their ambitious quest to make a video for every song on the record, Troller once again teamed up with director Melissa Cha to head their largest video project yet.

"Nothing" is Troller's latest attempt at cinematic art. This dark and ritualistic narrative unfolds a morbid cycle of life and death that takes place in its own hyper-stylized world. "Nothing" is Cha's third video collaboration with Troller and plays more like an intense short film.
