New York City’s Shower Curtain, fronted by Brazilian-American artist Victoria Winter, are making waves with their latest single, “you’re like me.” Layered with reverberating guitars and piercingly honest lyrics, the track showcases the band’s knack for turning emotionally fraught experiences into sonic landscapes filled with melodic distortion. As the centerpiece of their upcoming debut album, words from a wishing well, set for release on October 18 via Angel Tapes/Fire Talk Records, “you’re like me” arrives alongside an evocative music video directed by NYC duo Sex Week, depicting the complexities of a distant, strained relationship.
Winter describes “you’re like me” as a reflection on the painful realization that the people who hurt us most often share qualities we see in ourselves. The song explores the dynamic between two individuals who struggle to express their feelings, creating a cycle of subtle emotional harm. Musically, the track leans into a 90s-inspired guitar sound while experimenting with the resurgence of Y2K drum machine aesthetics in modern indie music. The accompanying video, shot over a weekend in New York City, captures the growing distance between two people who know exactly how to push each other’s buttons.
Following last month’s insomnia-fueled single “benadryl man” and this year’s earlier release “wish u well,” “you’re like me” continues to illustrate Shower Curtain’s evolution from Winter’s solo bedroom pop beginnings to a fully-realized band diving into sludgy rock and shoegaze textures. With their forthcoming album, the band—rounded out by Cody Hudgins (Crate) on bass, Ethan Williams (Punchlove) on guitar, and Sean Terrell (Fasting) on drums—cements its place in Brooklyn’s slowcore scene, building anticipation for what promises to be a raw, reflective debut.
