The Fire Theft's self-titled album, released on September 23, 2003, through the independent Rykodisc, turned out to be the Seattle band's only one. It was Sunny Day Real Estate in all but name and one guitarist: singer and guitarist Jeremy Enigk, bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith, with Dan Hoerner the one who stayed away. Mendel was also holding down bass in Foo Fighters, where Goldsmith had drummed in the mid-'90s.
Brad Wood produced, and the record reaches for something grand and progressive, Enigk's voice floating over songs like "Chain" and "Heaven" that build and swell rather than simply rock. The band drifted into a hiatus in 2004 and never officially called it quits. In 2019, a Run Out Groove poll asking which records fans wanted back on vinyl came down in its favor, and it returned remastered, with new artwork.
