Math rock is sort of similar to post rock. Influenced heavily by psychedelic rock and jam bands of the 70s and also metal. Mostly instrumental, usually without vocals. Often multiple guitars and/or drum sets. Guitars are usually used in place of vocals. Complicated rhythms and changing time signatures.
There's the more "pretty sounding" post rock which is like Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai. Then there's the heavier side like Hella and Don Caballero (my favorite band of all time!! LISTEN!) and Tortoise ooooh and Upsilon Acrux who are my friends from LA and are amazing!!
I know, I'm ridiculous :) MUSIC!
Also, in my headcanon, Arthur fucking loves heavy post and math rock :)
