History
Android Lust is a solo project of the musician Shikhee. Shikhee was born in Bangladesh, schooled in England and later in the United States of America. Android Lust borrows elements from a variety of styles, producing a sound 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 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 said "The Dividing is filled with intensely passionate lyrics delivered in low whispers and startling, penetrating screaming."

In addition, a video was shot for the song "Stained" by director Dan Ouellette (whose credits include production design on David Bowie's "Dead Man Walking" video and The Birthday Massacre's award-nominated "Blue" video). "Stained" has received regular airplay on music video shows and channels across the United States and Canada, 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' "NCIS" (including an on-air mention of the band's name) and MTV's "The Real World" and "Road Rules."

Shikhee's third full length album, Devour, Rise, and Take Flight, was released on February 21st, 2006. "Dragonfly," the first single for the album, was released on October 18th. The album included a video for the song, again directed by Dan Ouellette, and keeps the bizarre style of her "Stained" video, using futuristic, yet disturbing, mechanical pieces.
