AllMusic | [2] |
Masters of the Hemisphere is the first full album by the Athens, Georgia-based indie pop band of the same name.[3][4] Though it lacks the elaborateness of their follow-up, the heavily concept-based I Am Not A Freemdoom, it still maintains the essential element of the band's indie pop songcraft, drawing comparisons to R.E.M., among others.
Critical reception[]
AllMusic wrote that "while superficially not all that different from many other Kindercore acts, Masters of the Hemisphere have songwriting smarts and instrumental and arranging chops that set them apart."[2]
