Scottish chamber pop outfit, Belle and Sebastian, will release their first full-length of new material in two years on June 4th. Entitled Storytelling, the album features several songs that also feature in Todd Solondzís new film of the same name. According to Billboard, the entire album was written for the project, but not all of the tracks made it into the movie. Belle and Sebastian will cross the Pond this spring for a ten-date US tour in support of Storytelling, beginning with an April 26th appearance on Conan. A date of extra importance is the bandís April 28th stop at Coachella, which is shaping up to be the concert event of the year. Click more for a Storytelling track listing and tour dates.
