Shower Curtain Release New Single/Video, "you're like me," via Angel Tapes / Fire Talk

New York City’s Shower Curtain, the four-piece band led by Brazilian-American artist Victoria Winter, are thrilled to share their latest single, “you’re like me.” With reverberating guitars and emotionally cutting lyricism, today’s track displays Shower Curtain’s ability to digest fraught situations into melodic sound spheres of distortion. The centerpiece of their upcoming debut album words from a wishing well, due October 18 via Angel Tapes/Fire Talk Records, “you’re like me” arrives with an official music video portraying a distant relationship directed by the NYC duo Sex Week.

“‘you’re like me’ is about realizing that often the people that hurt you the most are sometimes the ones with qualities that you see in yourself,” Winter explains. “It speaks about two people hiding their feelings for each other and lacking emotional responsibility with the other, leading to an endless loop of subtle hurting. Production-wise, I wanted the guitars to have a 90’s feel, we were also testing the use of the drum machine in the song. I was inspired by the returned use of y2k drum machine sounds in contemporary indie music.”

Later this month, Shower Curtain will embark on their first full-length headlining tour across North America, making stops along the East Coast and down South before heading midwest with fellow New York band MX LONELY. The tour will culminate in an album release show presented by Stereogum at local haunt TV Eye with support from a to-be-announced special guest, My Transparent Eye and Many Shining Windows.

Today’s release arrives after last month’s insomnia-inspired single, “benadryl man.” The announcement of words from a wishing well was heralded by Shower Curtain’s first song of the year, “wish u well.” Arriving with a music video directed by Trevor Scholl and starring Brenna Gonzalez from Julia’s War band Lola Star, the track served as an ode to the early bedroom pop beginnings of the project. Together, these singles showcase how the band has grown leaps and bounds through break-up musings and layered guitar riffs.

The band’s upcoming debut follows their 2021 EP Something Instead and 2023 singles; “meus passos,” with Brazilian group terraplana, and “edgar,” the final track of words from a wishing well that Stereogum called “a lingering blast of poignant shoegaze” and Paste Magazine praised as “a gorgeous, reflective arc of survival and loss and hope.”

Last year’s singles represented a significant milestone in the band's journey, signaling a bold artistic evolution for the band from bedroom pop to sludgy rock after a two-year hiatus. Beginning as Victoria’s solo project, the band has found a home within Brooklyn’s emerging slowcore and shoegaze scene, adding members Cody Hudgins (Crate) on bass, Ethan Williams (Punchlove) on guitar, and Sean Terrell (Fasting) on drums.
