Zenizen was created by Opal Hoyt who was born in Alaska and raised between Vermont, Jamaica, Washington DC and Brooklyn. Since heading to Australia for the second time to write/record the band's debut EP, she has been back in New York simultaneously playing shows and working on the band's 'vaguely seasonal' full-length -- due in 2018. The EP, 'Australia' Deluxe is now out on vinyl courtesy of Don Giovanni Records and includes remixes from DJ Bruce, Suzi Analogue, Vulture Street Tape Gang, and Black Spade. The band has also shared stages with Tiffany Gouche, Anna Wise, Talib Kweli, Teklife, Sad13, T-Rextasy, Suzi Analogue, Mannequin Pussy, Sammus and more--blurring genre lines and liking it that way but always committed to modern psychedelia, poetry, and groove
