Storytelling is the fifth studio album by Belle and Sebastian. It is the score to the Todd Solondz movie Storytelling. Belle and Sebastian experienced many notable problems in communication with Solondz whilst scoring the film, and as such only about six minutes of music by them was actually used in the movie itself. The album contains five tracks that are recorded dialogues. The instrumental track "Fuck This Shit" uses the prosody of the title phrase in a number of different keys to but never the words themselves.
