Yet when they had announced they were reforming as the FireTheft, albeit without guitarist Dan Hoerner, no one was really sure what the music was going to sound like: Sunny Day, or something else.
Yet, the FireTheft's self titled debut is more sweeping, more melodic than what would have been expected from their former band.
The FireTheft is a very complex record that moves from one musical sound to another.
A common theme in mythology where a god or god-like being or a culture hero, a part often played by a trickster, steals fire from the gods and presents it to mankind.
Fire was the sole property of the gods and those who dared stealing it were often punished most direly.
The Greek Prometheus stole fire and Zeus had him chained to a rock.
