Biografia

Android Lust is the singular vision of Bangladeshi born Shikhee. Drawing elements from a variety of musical and artistic influences her music can perhaps best be described as a searing blend of venomous aggression, moody electronics, and alien eroticism.

After her critically acclaimed debut Resolution (1998) on a now-defunct indie label, Shikhee self released her second full length The Dividing (2003), the first pressing of which sold out within two months. This brought her to the attention of Projekt Records who quickly re-released the album to eager music fans all over the world. The video for “Stained” (shot by director Dan Ouellette) received regular airplay across the United States, as well as 120 Minutes on MTV Latin America, and Australia’s music video show Rage. Songs from The Dividing were played on various MTV reality shows, as well as CBS’ Navy NCIS. The character Abby Sciutto even mentioned the band’s name in one episode.

2006 saw the release of Devour, Rise, and Take Flight. Devour brought Shikhee’s commanding voice to center stage set against a raw, unforgiving electronic assault. Again she teamed up with director Dan Ouellette for the video for “Dragonfly”. Songs from Devour were also featured on NCIS, including “Hole Solution” which has since been included on the official NCIS Soundtrack released in Feb 2009.

Unlike many electronic music projects, Android Lust is a touring act. Backed by a ferocious live band, Shikhee has taken Android Lust to clubs and halls across the US and Canada. In concert, Shikhee and the band are just as uncompromising and gripping as they are in the studio, spinning out hyper-charged versions of Shikhee’s catalog.

Shikhee is currently working on her next full length album!
