	Math rock - FoxyTunes
		Math rock is a style of rock music that emerged in the late 1980s.
		Whereas most rock music uses a basic 4/4 beat (however accented or syncopated), math rock frequently uses odd-time meters such as 7/8, 11/8, or 13/8, or features constantly changing meters based on various groupings of 2 and 3.
		Math rock often sounds familiar but somehow "off." It fits into those genres but is never a classic example.

	Math rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Math rock is a style of rock music that emerged in the late 1980s.
		During the 1990s, the greatest concentration of math rock bands was in the urban centers of the U.S.'s Midwestern "Rust Belt," ranging from Minneapolis to Buffalo, with Chicago being a central hub.
		The Chicago-based engineer Steve Albini is a key figure in the scene, and many math rock bands from around the country have enlisted him to record their albums, giving the genre's recorded catalog a certain uniformity of sound, and lumping his bands past and present, Shellac, Rapeman, and Big Black into the pigeonhole as well.

		The angular indie rock unit Chavez was led by singer/guitarist Matt Sweeney, the former frontman of New Jersey's Skunk.
		A seminal influence on the avant-garde wing of indie rock, Rodan were habitually likened to fellow Louisville natives and math rock pioneers Slint.
		Although Rodan's existence was short, producing only one album, their impact on math rock and post-rock was far-reaching; what was more, most of the members moved on to new projects that were often just as challenging, whether they resembled Rodan's musical modus operandi or not.

		I have noticed a trend within math rock type bands which involves giving songs elaborate, convoluted, weird, smartass and long names, possibly as a means of textual output otherwise deprived due to the absence of lyrics.
		Math rock is an extremely complex form of emo-rock, which is a punk offshoot that is not punk anymore.
		Math Rock bands also tend to be short lived, and the "scene" has consisted (for a number of years) of musicians who have played in each other's bands at various points.

	Salon \| Sharps and Flats:
		Math rock got its feet wet in Louisville, Ky., and its main oracle is Slint's jaw-dropping 1991 record, "Spiderland," an album some still listen to with the same awed reverence with which penitents gape weeping at icons of the Virgin Mary.
		The point is this: One of the finest bands to spin off from the Louisville-Chicago math rock axis, June of 44 is moving the math rock sound forward in new ways that are both intense and eloquent.
		What pervades all of "Four Great Points" is a limber, intelligent approach to the math rock style that ignores the genre's shortcomings and even some of its common themes, with an accessibility that the purest of pure-pop fans can appreciate.

	Post Rock/Math rock, a progressive rock music sub-genre
		Math Rock is a genre that emerged in the late 80's and that was influenced by both the intricacies of progressive and avant-garde rock - King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Henry Cow - and 20th century composers such as Steve Reich and John Cage.
		The name Math Rock is a term that grew out of the Chicago scene and the artists working with engineer Steve Albini in an effort to describe the new style.
		Just another post rock album, but this time with an interesting twist in the booklet, (in the genre, the booklet is usually anything but seriously taken), but otherwise, even with the slight tracks’ sonic differences, there is absolutely nothing new under the sun.

		Later, a key moment in the development of math rock was the title track from Crimson's "Discipline." With it Crimson created a tapestry of swirling time signitures that still manages to provide the illusion of a 4/4 pulse.
		Probably the coolest non-mainstream math rock album is called BLUE Nights by Bill Bruford, Tony Levin, David Torn, and Chris Botti.
		I've read the term "Math Rock" in old old-ass issues of Mojo that describe 70s progressive rock as being mathy, as mentioned earlier.

		"The rise of ambient-tinged rock (and ambient techno) is a response to, or retreat from, our increasingly strife-wracked, deteriorating social fabric.
		Too much post-rock fails to supply what people get from trad rock (iconicity/iconoclasm, charisma/neurosis, big riffs, catharsis, meaning, something to look at on stage, tunes you can hum in the bath), without ever really rivaling what dance music offers either (kinaesthetic kicks, hedonic science, surrogate drug-sensations).
		The rest of the post-rock fraternity (and you can count the number of women involved on one hand) have remained stuck in a profitless intermediary zone, a sort of mildly dub-inflected math-rock.

		Born in the dust-laden family garage with archaic samplers, Radio Shack mics, and broken record players, Mute Math have been noisily calculating their notes for the past few years.
		This electro-alt rock collaboration between longtime friends Paul Meany (vocals/keys), Darren King (drums), Greg Hill (guitar), and Roy Mitchell-Cardenas (bass) has crept up on the music scene with the onslaught of a worldwide fan-base driven to their website from countless video blogs and non-stop touring.
		The four piece (originating from New Orleans) has scattered influences that are apparent without being obvious, and touch on everything from DJ shadow styled beats, moments of beauty and grandeur a la Bjork, and vocals that pay legitimate homage to Police-era Sting.
