Young Death / Nightmarket is the eighth extended play released by William Emmanuel Bevan, an electronic musician known by his stage name Burial, and the 100th release in the catalog of the Hyperdub label. It departs from his previous two extended plays, Kindred and Rival Dealer, in that it returns to Burial's signature sound consisting of vinyl crackle sounds, rain-filled atmospheres and vocal samples that was on records like Untrue. It is also less dance-based than previous releases by the producer, with the percussion of "Young Death" being submerged by other sounds and "Nightmarket" being devoid of any drum beats. Young Death / Nightmarket attracted significant media coverage for how it was released. While Hyperdub planned to distribute the record on 28 November 2016, five vinyl copies of the record were "accidentally" sold at the Toronto shop Sonic Boom Records on 25 November as a result of buyers mistaking the product for a secret Black Friday item. This led to Discogs listings of the EP three days before its intended official release and multiple fake uploads of it on services such as YouTube. The EP received positive reviews from professional music journalists in general.
