Masters of the Hemisphere (1999) I Am Not a Freemdoom (2000)

Masters of the Hemisphere is the first full album by the Athens, Georgia based indie pop band of the same name. Though it lacks the elaborateness of their followup, 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.
