"Why not do what Fluorescent do and scare the Supre kids by pursuing the darker edges of melody, the punchier refrains and the stadium pop impact of the whole array of synthesisers playing the archest riffs this side of gary Numan's on-hold music? This is delish."
Clem Bastow, InPress
“...a three-way love affair between electro, post-punk and shoegaze” Chris Girdler, Beat Magazine.
“Fluorescent are the nexus point where My Bloody Valentine and Giorgio Moroder meet” Nic Lowrey, InPress
"One of the better moments on Fluorescent’s debut album Winter, ‘Unfamiliar’ lopes along with Cure-esque guitars and cheesy synths... fondness for this era can also be found in the laconic vocals of Simon Kapitolina, who delivers the somewhat bizarre refrain, “Streets are unfamiliar, when they’re gonna kill ya”, with utter seriousness.”
" Adam D. Mills, Mess & Noise
"...although electronica was rarely employed by the shoegazers, bands like Fluorescent, Ceremony and The Early Years now make heavy use of it too good effect". Tom Elliot, The Trip Magazine
