Math rock is a term generally thrown around those bands from the Chicago-Louisville line, a lot on Touch and Go and Quarterstick. Bands like Rodan, Slint, June of 44 spring to mind immediately, but I would also throw in those groups like Tortoise, Trans Am, Gastr del Sol.
I used to be the biggest Big Black fan on my block, spent 1 1/2 years D.J-ing at WHPK, yet Math Rock passed me by. Wait'll I tell Ander, he's an Algebraic Geometer. Woohoo!
