Shower Curtain is the creative vehicle of Victoria Winter, originally established in Curitiba, Brazil, in 2018 before relocating to Brooklyn, NY. The project's trajectory mirrors a shift from intimate, lo-fi bedroom pop to a sophisticated blend of shoegaze, dream pop, and slowcore.
Winter's early EPs were characterized by a DIY aesthetic and high-reverb vocal treatments, but the project expanded into a full band featuring members from the Brooklyn indie scene (Punchlove, Crate), leading to a more dynamic and textured sound. Their 2024 debut LP, 'Words From a Wishing Well', solidified their position within the contemporary 'shoegaze revival' movement, earning critical praise for its ability to marry Brazilian melodic sensibilities with the gritty, wall-of-sound production typical of the Northeast US indie circuit. Musically, the artist is defined by breathy, submerged vocals and a 'loud-quiet-loud' structural approach that recalls 90s icons like Mazzy Star or My Bloody Valentine, while maintaining a modern, self-aware lyrical perspective on isolation and growth.
