Our Take

In the annals of indie music history, there are few compilations as quintessentially British as NME's C86. A time capsule of jangly guitars, floppy fringes, and DIY ethos, this album is a sonic journey through the heyday of the C86 scene.

From the shimmering melancholy of The Wedding Present to the infectious energy of The Shop Assistants, C86 is a treasure trove of indie gems. With its lo-fi production and earnest lyrics, this compilation captures the raw, unpolished spirit of a generation of musicians who were more concerned with making good music than with chasing fame or fortune.

While some may dismiss C86 as a relic of a bygone era, its influence can still be heard in the music of countless bands today. The legacy of this compilation is not just in its tracklist, but in the way it inspired a whole generation of musicians to pick up a guitar and start their own band.

So, whether you're a die-hard fan of indie pop or just curious about the roots of the genre, give C86 a spin. It may not be shiny or glamorous, but it's got heart and soul in spades. And really, what more could you ask for from a compilation of jangly guitar tunes?
