The Dividing Review by Ned Raggett
Android Lust is just one person, Shikhee by name, and in the tradition of such
auteurs as Trent Reznor, she may have a guest performer here or there, but this
is all her vision and band, and she does a great job at it as well. The Reznor
connection isn't too far off when it comes to Android Lust's music -- Shikhee is
clearly a fan of his industrial/goth/metal fusions and experiments and happily
applies the same sense of recombination to her own work. Notably, though, unlike
all the wannabes that bubbled up after The Downward Spiral hit it big, Shikhee's
own combinations of wounded emotion and rampaging anger taps into the same sense
of romantic apocalypse instead of just flailing for its own sake. Her sense of
sometimes hot and sometimes cold, explicitly female anger and lust calls to mind
everyone from Marianne Faithfull to Toni Halliday, while the combination of
everything from Middle Eastern melodies to nervous Depeche Mode-styled keyboards
demonstrates a similar sense of wide-ranging inspiration. The unsettled rush of
"Panic Wrought," the combination of stabbing bass and woozy, bansheelike synth
wails on "Stained," and "Another Void" and its mix of chopped-up guitar melodies
and keening strings over a roiling beat are all stellar examples of how smart
and sensitive her skills are. Meanwhile, the stentorian but chilled pace of
"Follow" is as good a portrait of sheer obsession and entrapment into a
relationship as any, in the perceived genre or out of it. When Shikhee hits a
full-on dancefloor stride with songs like "The Want" and "Unbeliever," it's as
good a sign as any that an electronic body music revival and reinterpretation is
back on the cards, as well as being in very good hands.
