Sounds Like: "No doubt Fashionista will have to wrestle with the Retro tag, the keyboards do sparkle and the band dresses well. Those encountering the group for the first time will hear bits of the eighties throughout, some My Bloody Valentine wall of sound guitar here, some New Order like bass lines there. But far from being derivative of some Eighties compilation, this E.P. provides a clear distillation of some pretty far-flung influences. 70’s Glam, Gary Numan, Shoegazer pop and the best of Morissey/Marr’s songwriting, they’re all here, reassembled with the precision of a Joseph Cornell collage."
