Opal Hoyt, the Brooklyn-based Vermont expat behind the project Zenizen, is an R&B artist whose nomadic search for inspiration has led her around the world. Those travels and experiences inform her expansive, genre-straddling sound. A brash, theatrical quality heightens elements of retro-funk, nu-jazz and future soul throughout her burgeoning stock of tunes. At once dreamlike and clearheaded, her songs twist and turn in ways that defy common conventions. Check out Zenizen on Sunday, October 13, at the BCA Center in Burlington. Indie rockers Paear headline, and locals Nodrums open.
