Math rock is a style of alternative and indie rock[2] with roots in bands such as King Crimson and Rush.[3][4] It is characterized by complex, atypical rhythmic structures (including irregular stopping and starting), counterpoint, odd time signatures, and extended chords. Bearing similarities to post-rock, math rock has been described as the "opposite side of the same coin". Opting for a "rockier" approach to songwriting and timbres, the style is often performed by smaller ensembles which emphasize the role of the guitar.[2]
Polvo, Don Caballero, Slint, Bitch Magnet, Bastro and Ruins are considered by some to be the genre's pioneers.[5][6]
