The Fire Theft released a self-titled album on September 23, 2003 on independent label

Only "Chain" was released as a promotional single. A tour promoting the album followed up. Since then, the band has been in a hiatus.Concerning future projects, Jeremy Enigk has stated on the official message board that he imagines "The Fire Theft will be back in full swing. We just have to find another record label or start our own".
