Matt Barus & Lauren Barus
Terrible Sons is the moniker for husband and wife Matthew Putra Suranta Karo-Karo Rumahgalo Richard Barus and Lauren Barus, who is more regularly known as the singer and songwriter L. A. Mitchell.
The songs that make up their forthcoming album, produced by David Long, were mostly unfinished doodles on Garageband, late-night scribblings and unrelated tales about life in a much changed and shrunken city after the Christchurch earthquakes. Folk songs with a little bit of Gris-Gris, Art Blakey and a bit of Emmylou. Two voices, a piano, an acoustic and a drummer who closes his eyes while playing.
