Spectateur

**Spectateur** is the dreamy indie pop solo project of Charlie Brand, best known as the frontman of the band Miniature Tigers. Launched in 2018, Spectateur lets Brand lean into nostalgic synth textures, introspective lyrics, and sun-soaked melodies that feel like a mix of late-night drives and lazy Sunday reflections. Tracks like "Take A Nap," "Drive Into Sunset," and "Skipping School" capture his knack for turning everyday moments into wistful anthems, blending laid-back grooves with a touch of existential pondering.

While keeping a relatively low profile, Spectateur has built a cult following for his relatable storytelling and lo-fi charm. Releases like *The Scary Freedom* and *Imaginary Guest* showcase his evolution from quirky bedroom-pop experiments to polished, emotionally resonant tunes that still feel deeply personal. Whether he’s singing about escaping adulthood ("Day Off") or embracing life’s weirdness ("We Still Sound"), Spectateur’s music feels like catching up with an old friend who’s figuring things out one melody at a time.
