The group's first album, Orange Rhyming Dictionary, was released on Jade Tree Records in 1998 to critical and commercial success, followed by extensive touring with bands like The Promise Ring. Their second album, Four Cornered Night, was released in 2000 to mainly positive reviews. Four Cornered Night was the first album to feature new guitarist Brian Maryansky, formerly of the band The Van Pelt. With Maryansky included in the band, this allowed Schwarzenbach to also become the keyboard player for the band. In 2002, Jets to Brazil released their third and final album, Perfecting Loneliness, to positive reviews.
By the fall of 2003, less than a year after the release of Perfecting Loneliness, the band broke up for unspecified reasons.
Daly reunited with Texas Is The Reason for two shows at the Irving Plaza in New York City in November 2006 and a reunion tour from 2012 to 2013.
"Sweet Avenue", the final track of Orange Rhyming Dictionary, has often been attributed to Damien Rice due to misattribution on peer-to-peer networks.
On March 25, 2019, during the Q&A portion a screening of Jawbreaker's documentary Don't Break Down, Schwarzenbach answered a fan question regarding a Jets To Brazil reunion to which he answered it may happen one day but his present main focus is on Jawbreaker.[2]
