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

[edit]

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]

## Track listing

[edit]

1. "West Essex"
2. "Billy Mitchell"
3. "Saucy Foreign Lass"
4. "Meteor"
5. "Everybody Knows Canada"
6. "Map"
7. "She Plays Guitar"
8. "Your Ship Looks Like A Captain"

### Additional information

[edit]

The Japanese release of the album contained two bonus tracks - 'Going on a Freak to Iceland' (also known as 'Bat', which appears on the Going on a Trek to Iceland 7"), and 'My Crowd' (also known as 'My Cloud', which appears on the Seven Summers compilation).
