Belle and Sebastian - Storytelling

It's taken me a while to work my way back to this one because of the inauspiciousness of its back story - B&S record a bunch of music specifically to soundtrack Solondz film, Solondz decides it's not right and ends up using hardly any of it, music gets bundled up and released as an unofficial B&S album. So, a lot of the tracks are instrumental, and kind of incidental in that film soundtracky way, though pleasant enough - and the vocal numbers, which are, unusually for a soundtrack (though Storytelling is evidently more of a 'soundtrack') backloaded on the tracklist, are similar in being pleasant and touched with something of the B&S magic, but ultimately fairly minor (although, having vocals, they tend to stand out more than their purely instrumental counterparts).
