Joseph
Buckley:
Brotherhood
Tapestry

This debut solo
exhibition at The
Tetley in Leeds
fi nds artist Joseph
Buckley exploring
the space between
blackness and
Britishness via
three large-scale
sculptural pieces
incorporating
the historically
familiar with the
modern world,
plus a dash of
science fi ction. It
runs to 29 Oct.

Grizzly Bear

As you can see
from the picture
above, 2017 is
the year slow-
burn US rockers
Grizzly Bear go
full on Klaxons
nu-rave ... Only
joking, obviously,
their new album
Painted Ruins
is more of a
refi nement of their
sound than a major
overhaul. Still,
lead single Three
Rings features
all the attributes
that make them
interesting:
lovely harmonies,
mumbled lyrics
and a general
disregard for time
signatures. It’s out
on Friday.

Edinburgh
international
book festival

Celebrating its
70th anniversary,
this year’s festival
programme works
under the broad
umbrella of Brave
New Words,
investigating
the global
and personal
experiences
of living in our
modern world.
The eclectic
programme ranges
from Beyoncé
collaborator
Chimamanda
Ngozi Adichie
(pictured above)
and fi rst minister
Nicola Sturgeon
debating the
role of women
in the world, to
hygge exponent
Meik Wiking
launching his
new book, likely
swaddled cosily
in an oversized
cashmere rug. It
runs to 28 Aug.

The Dark Tower

This adaptation
of Stephen King’s
novel series has
been in Hollywood
limbo for years,
with both JJ
Abrams and Ron
Howard trying and
failing to make it
work. Idris Elba
plays a gunslinger
fi ghting Matthew
McConaughey’s
The Man in Black
in post-apocalyptic
“Mid-World”, all
while trying to
get to a tower
for reasons too
complicated to
get into here.
Still, it looks shiny
and expensive.
It’s in cinemas
from Friday.

Sunfall festival

Created by the
people behind
London clubs
XOYO and The
Nest, Sunfall
off ers day and
night lineups
featuring some
of underground
music’s most
interesting
exponents
including Princess
Nokia (pictured
above), Madlib and
Jay Electronica.
The day portion
takes place today
in Herne Hill’s
Brockwell Park,
while the night
session runs,
erm, tonight
across various
London venues.
