Official Bio
Android Lust is the vision of its sole creator, Shikhee. Born in Bangladesh, schooled in England and in the United States, Shikhee's background is as varied as the music she creates: running the emotional gamut from loss to discovery, from regret to carnivorous loathing. Borrowing elements from a variety of styles Android Lust presents a blend of electronic rock music that is dark, icy, and fiercely emotional.
After two independent label releases (including 1998's critically acclaimed debut Resolution) Shikhee released The Dividing on her own, bringing her to the attention of Projekt Records who quickly signed and re-released it to eager music fans all over the world. Outburn Magazine calls The Dividing "Unconventional and adventurous - 10 out of 10" while The Boston Phoenix says "The Dividing never misfires; it feels almost - but not quite - slick, its arranging smart, its themes ingenious". Jane Magazine said "The Dividing is filled with intensely passionate lyrics delivered in low whispers and startling, penetrating screaming". They even gave away copies of the album to 30 lucky readers. Projekt records was created by Sam Rosenthal in 1983 and has evolved over the years into one of the foremost Gothic, Ethereal, Darkwave, and Dark Cabaret record labels in America. ...
In addition, a video was shot for the song "Stained" by director Dan Oullette (whose credits include production design on David Bowie's "Dead Man Walking" video). "Stained" has received regular airplay on music video shows and channels across the United States, as well as 120 Minutes on MTV Latin America and Australia's music video show Rage. "Stained" and other songs from The Dividing have also been featured heavily on CBS' "Navy NCIS" (including an on-air mention of the band's name) and MTV's The Real World and Road Rules, as well as receiving club and radio play all over the world.
Shikhee's third full length album, Devour, Rise, and Take Flight, was recently released on February 21st, 2006. "Dragonfly", the first single for the album was released on October 18th. The video was directed again by Dan Oullette and keeps the bizzare style of her "Stained" video, utilizing futuristic, yet disturbing, mechanical pieces.
