New Burial single officially released, after ‘accidental’ Black Friday sale

Burial has released a new single, his first solo release on Hyperdub since 2013. Featuring two new tracks – ‘Young Death’ and ‘Nightmarket’ – the release is available now on Bandcamp.

The new music is also available on limited edition twelve-inch. Good luck bagging one of those though. You could, it turns out, have picked one up in Toronto last Friday, when record shop Sonic Boom accidentally sold five copies of it early. Or, perhaps, ‘accidentally’. Either way, people bought them.

Sonic Boom buyer Blair Whitmore tells Pitchfork that the records turned up unclearly marked, so the shop “assumed it was a Black Friday secret listing” and stuck the records on their shelves. It was only the next day that an angry call from Hyperdub revealed that the label was “not happy” about this.

Anyway, that all happened, and now the release is available. Check it out on Bandcamp here:
