Tera Melos may have been quiet these past few months while they were busy searching for a new drummer, but in typical Tera Melos fashion, they were just planning some more surprises. In their so called "downtime," Nick Reinhart managed to write and record a full-length album in his new band he started with Zach Hill called bygones. The album entitled by- will see a March 2009 release on Sargent House.

Tera Melos also managed to find their new permanent drummer who goes by the name of John Clardy. Keeping it light while breaking him in, Tera Melos decided to have some fun and record some covers of an interesting batch of favorites, hence the EP Idioms Vol I was born. Also, the band figures, since the songs are covers, they will never be for sale, they will be instead be free. See tracklisting and full US tour dates below.
