Shower Curtain - "you're like me"

Shower Curtain just released the most 90's slacker style song of this century. "you're like me" has this laid back, mid-tempo vibe that's just accentuated by Victoria Winter's vocals that land in the realm of Juliana Hatfield and Liz Phair. This is the style of song that would have dominated MTV's Buzz Bin thirty years ago, with it's fuzzy guitars propelling the song along. "you're like me" lives in the more mainstream side of indie rock. As nostalgia soaked as the song is, Shower Curtain don't sound like a throwback, and are more the modern version of that sound and vibe.

Victoria Winter says of her band's latest single:

“‘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. 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.”
