No, not only. It's part of a bigger movement that tries to re-create a hard style of rock in a new kind of sound, and in a new way of thinking.

Dear Science and Return to Cookie Mountain, in particular, are terrific albums. |
I love TV On The Radio but I don't really see them as math rock at all. Polvo is the first thing I think of when I hear math rock, and I know The Dismemberment Plan is considered math rock by a lot of people, but to be honest math rock is one of the genre categorizations I'm shakiest on. I don't know when something is complex time wise enough to be considered math rock, and does it have to have the post-hardcore influence or can it just be any shit with super complex time signatures in an indie-ish context? I'm not sure.
Even then, I think a good majority of Tv On The Radio's songs are in pretty traditional time signatures, so despite my shaky feelings towards the classification I wouldn't but them there.

Possibly stretching the genre's boundaries a little but well worth checking out.

Google is a terrible source for music recommendations though.

I just happened upon this thread and man, someone just got me into A Minor Forest recently because they're coming to St. Louis soon, and those guys are GOOD. I'm not exactly deep into their oeuvre or anything, but Inindependence is a bitchin' album, with a really nice 18-minute burner of a centerpiece.

I'll check them out, thank you!
I've listened to some of the first recs on this thread and by first impression they are all very good! 😁
