Reviews for The Human Animal are starting to pour in. Here's a short list of a few of them.
"The Human Animal expands the musical boundaries explored by Shikhee's songs without spoiling their raw, dangerous beauty. The result is feels more organic and emotionally raw than a lot of her early output, and a cool progression in the Android Lust sound. It's still dark, complex, and disturbing, with a heavy undercurrent of sexual tension – I wouldn't want it any other way..."
FEARNet
"The Human Animal shows further development, maturation perhaps of an artist exploring the inner and outer self. It’s an album that triggers the urge to go back and load the stacker with the albums to date — this is the fourth studio LP — to track the ongoing journey of a remarkable talent."
Vampires in the Sunburnt Country
"From the first few moments of the opening track, Intimate Stranger, you know you're listening to an Android Lust album – Shikhee's voice is unmistakable – but the sound has taken on some dirtier, grungier blues tones, which maintains the aforementioned gothic moodiness but also gives it a more prominent and wickedly seductive edge. (You know you're hooked if you feel the urge to to sing a song like Rub Me Raw when out and about – it would be an interesting experiment to see how well other bus passengers would take to my vocal renditions of “Won't you smother me ’til I’m sick of you / Crush me ’til I scream for you / Rub me ’til I bleed for you / Rub me raw“. I’m sticking to humming it for now)."
Satellite For Entropy
"With The Human Animal, Android Lust has delivered her best, most complete work to date. She still manages to surprise even after more than a decade on the scene. Recorded with her live band for the first time, her sound seems nicely fleshed out but without compromising the studio integrity we have come to expect from her. This is still very much an electronic album and one of the most interesting of the year."
