Archive material and source history
The 32-Bit Handhelds formed in 2014 with Matthew Jones, Luke Abbott, and James Quested, childhood friends who drew from 1980s video game sounds and vintage synthesizers. Their early material had a chiptune quality that felt playful and nostalgic, like something from an old gaming system.
They put out their first album, "Love Is a Lie," in 2016, followed by "In the Shadows" in 2018. Tracks like "0400" and "Domo Arigato Mr. Miyamoto" show their mix of retro electronics and melodic hooks. The band is from Bristol, England, though their music doesn't lean heavily on that city's particular scene.
Some listeners found their sound too referential or stuck in the past, but they kept working in that space. Their songs often have a dreamy, slightly surreal quality, like "Flight Of The Veritech Fighters" or "Guitari 2600," which feel both familiar and a little off-kilter.
