History
Android Lust is just one person and the brainchild of musician Shikhee in the same vein as auteurs like Trent Reznor.
Shikhee was born in Bangladesh, but grew up in England and the U.S.A.cite web |url= http://www.bostonphoenix.com/boston/events/state/documents/03281518.asp |title=Editor's Picks: Goth, not Goth |author=Freedberg, Michael |year=2003 |work=Boston Phoenix October 31 - November 6, 2003 |publisher=Phoenix Media/Communicatinos Group |accessdate=May 23, 2011 In 1999, she moved to New York City.
Her initial work was done entirely electronically, and attracted a goth/electropop/electro-industrial following.cite web |url= http://www.1340mag.com/android_lust_interview.htm |title=Android Lust Interview |author=Fisher, Mark |year=2003 |work=1340 Magazine |publisher= |accessdate=May 31, 2011 |archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20030819094545/ http://www.1340mag.com/android_lust_interview.htm |archivedate= August 19, 2003
After two independent label releases Shikhee released The Dividing on her own in 2002, bringing her to the attention of Projekt Records , who signed her and re-released the album. 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|Jane Magazine said "The Dividing is filled with intensely passionate lyrics delivered in low whispers and startling, penetrating screaming." That album involved more live instrumentation, on the album all performed by Shikhee. In the supporting tour she was joined by a live drummer and live keyboardist. She felt that, while dark it was a more optimistic collection than her earlier work, and that her fanbase had become more diversified.
Shikhee's third full length album, Devour, Rise, and Take Flight , was released on February 21, 2006. "Dragonfly," the first single for the album, was released on October 18. The album featured more live instrumentation than The Dividing , but embraced a more aggressive electronic sound. This album also saw some creative collaboration with Christopher Jon, Android Lust's live drummer, who co-wrote one track with Shihkee, performed on other tracks and helped mix the album.cite web |url= http://www.regenmag.com/Interviews-109-Android-Lust.html |title=ReGen Interviews - Android Lust - Divide and Devour |author=Y& uuml;cel, Ilker |date=March 6, 2006 |work=ReGen Magazine |publisher= |accessdate=May 31, 2011 |archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20071110182047/ http://www.regenmag.com/Interviews-109-Android-Lust.html |archivedate= November 10, 2007 Also in 2006, a video for "Dragonfly," was directed by New York director Dan Ouellette .cite web|title=Android Lust - Dragonfly|url= http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=f8nIvGEq-vg|publisher=Android Lust|accessdate=August 11, 2011
