New York City band Shower Curtain, fronted by Brazilian-American artist Victoria Winter, has just released their new single, “you’re like me,” ahead of their debut album words from a wishing well, set for release on October 18 via Angel Tapes/Fire Talk Records. This emotionally charged track, driven by reverberating guitars, arrives alongside a music video directed by NYC-based duo Sex Week, portraying a distant relationship.

“‘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 ‘90s 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.”

The upcoming debut album follows the band’s 2021 EP Something Instead and the 2023 singles “meus passos” (a collaboration with Brazilian band terraplana) and “edgar.”

Once a solo project for Winter, Shower Curtain has evolved into a full band, shifting from bedroom pop to a sludgier rock sound. Now part of Brooklyn’s slowcore and shoegaze scene, the lineup includes Cody Hudgins (Crate) on bass, Ethan Williams (Punchlove) on guitar, and Sean Terrell (Fasting) on drums.
