Came here to recommend Rooftops and Pretend.

I guess its like a math/post-rock fusion with horns and strings on occasion. Sparse vocals too. I really like it - probably my #5 album of the year.

I recommend Leafy Stair. There are around 4 other songs on their album that are amazing (in addition to a few on the myspace). Also, the ending track is 10 minutes of awesome.

Also Pretend:

Similar genre, no horns here. Alive in the Tone is my favorite song for sure. Luminous is rad too.


EDIT:

Truckers of Husk is cool too. They use a cello and a more simple math style. Check out Salad Ballad:

Also, the glitchy vocal samples on the new song on their myspace is neat:

The new Bygones EP is really not as mathy as one would expect. Two of the most technical players in the genre went for a hardcore punk (I guess?) kind of sound. It was pretty fascinating, but I didn't really like the vocals/shouting.
