Storytelling

Storytelling is Belle & Sebastian's fifth album. It is a soundtrack to the film of the same name. It is considered one of the group's weakest albums, but this is due to the fact that most of the album is completely instrumental, and features cuts of dialogue from the film that interrupt the music. It is the last album to feature Isobel Campbell, who left the band abruptly in the tour that followed the album.
