Best new Australian music: Missy Higgins, Cable Ties, Hayley Mary, The Chats...

Guardian made a selection of best new music coming from Australia for February. 'Carry You' closes the final episode of Tim Minchin new series 'Upright', it's sang by Missy Higgins, a lovely ballad (below). Cable Ties play punk rock in 'Sandcastles', and, as the G suggests - "in rock music, if you’ve got a good riff, hook or chorus then repeat, repeat, repeat". Alex the Astronaut has a fun pop-rock song in 'I Think You’re Great'. (G)oldie Archie Roach remade some of his old stuff, giving 'Tell Me Why' more joyful atmosphere. Montaigne is a Eurovision contestant with 'Don't Break Me', who is expected to make it big soon, Sia style. Hayley Mary has a powerful pop song in 'Like A Woman Should'. #1 Dads have a funny band name and a somber, piano-driven song 'Freedom Fighter'. 'On My Side' is a chamber-folk song by singer-songwriter Lenka. A funny moment: punk-rockers The Chats sing about - venereal disease in 'The Clap'. Rockers Kingswood sound best ever on 'Bittersweet'.
