It is related to post-rock, a result of a shared scene of origin. There are differences to be noted between early post-rock and math-rock as well, though: whereas post-rock has distinct jazz influences, math rock is more dense and complex, filled with difficult time signatures and intertwining phrases. The style is a little more 'rockist' than post-rock, since it's usually played by small, guitar-led bands.
While post-rock can be described as pushing the boundaries of rock by using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, math rock does not necessarily do this; instead, it tries to push the boundaries of rock by raising the complexity of rock music itself. It generally makes use of complex rythms, dissonant guitar chords, and unconventional playing techniques.
Math Rock can be divided into two periods: a first wave in the early 90's, after genre progenitors Slint, where Polvo, Chavez, and Blume Smells were the most iconic examples. This period had a more noise-rock-influenced, heavy sound. Emerging from the same music scenes (Chicago for example) that spawned early post-rock, there is quite a bit of overlap with that genre. Math rock then faded away, the tag disavowed by bands characterized as such.
The second wave came in the late 00's, when new bands arose with a cleaner, less noisy sound, though with the same complexity and rhythmic playfulness that makes math rock what it is. Examples of this include Maps & Atlases, Giraffes? Giraffes!, Hella, Don Caballero and Tera Melos. These bands are often more stylistically distanced from post-rock.
Lately a few bands have sprung up that try to make math rock more fun and accessible; the most prominent examples may include Damiera and Battles.
Spanish Sahara
Foals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
And a million dirty waves
Now I see you lying there
Like a lilo losing air, air
Black rocks and the shoreline surf
Still dead summer I cannot bear
And I wipe the sand from my eyes
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and it's future dust
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and it's future dust
Now the waves they drag you down
Carry you to broken ground
But I'll find you in the sand
Wipe you clean with dirty hands
So God damn this boiling space
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and it's future dust
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust, it's future dust
A choir of furies in your head
A choir of furies in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
A choir of furies in your head
A choir of furies in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
A choir of furies in your head
A choir of furies in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
The lyrics to Foals's song Spanish Sahara paint a picture of a hopeless and desolate environment as the singer stumbles into an incomprehensible haze. He observes a million dirty waves, black rocks, and the shoreline surf. He then sees someone he loves lying there, like a lilo losing air. At this point, the singer is struggling to make sense of what he sees around him. He's lost in a world of despair he seeks to leave behind. He tries to wipe the sand from his eyes and leaves a place that he wants to leave behind - the Spanish Sahara - where the horror should remain.
The singer repeats the phrase "Forget the horror here. Leave it all down here. It's future rust, and it's future dust," driving home the idea that this is where the horror belongs in moments like this. The song conveys a sense of loss and despair. Despite everything that is happening around them, the singer desperately wants to find the person they love and dirties their hands as they search through the sand.
Overall, the song creates a vivid idea of a tragedy that is taking place in an isolated and barren land. The singer wants to leave the horror behind, and as they search for hope, they find the strength to keep going.
Line by Line Meaning
So I walked into the haze
And a million dirty waves
Now I see you lying there
Like a lilo losing air, air
Amidst a hazy environment, I encounter countless waves that seem impure. Eventually, I spot you there, sprawled like a deflating air mattress.
Black rocks and the shoreline surf
Still dead summer I cannot bear
And I wipe the sand from my eyes
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here
The rocky coast and rough waters are no solace during the lifeless summer. After clearing my vision, I see the Spanish Sahara, where you would wish to abandon all the misery and despair.
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and it's future dust
Don't hold onto the grief, let it all go. What's left behind will just turn to decay in the future.
Now the waves they drag you down
Carry you to broken ground
But I'll find you in the sand
Wipe you clean with dirty hands
The waves are sweeping you away and toward danger, but I'll discover you in the sand and cleanse you with my unclean hands.
So God damn this boiling space
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here
This scorching and maddening area is unbearable. Again, the Spanish Sahara is presented as a location for escaping troubles.
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
I am the anger and unrest in your mind and bed, but also a haunting memory in the deepest parts of your consciousness.
A choir of furies in your head
A choir of furies in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
Now, not just me, but a group of furious voices inhabit your thoughts and bed, perpetually reminding you of my ghost-like presence in your mind.

Now the waves they drag you down
Carry you to broken ground
Though I'll find you in the sand
Wipe you clean with dirty hands
So god damn this boiling space

Yes. Nothing official though. All of it is rumors from a supposed play tester who leaked info to another person.
There is a channel named DomTheBomb who covers that info along with other youtubers.
Careful though, I believe there is spoilers on the other games in their videos so I would complete all the LIS games just to be safe.
I spoiled myself on something from the True Colors game like an idiot being nosy on youtube.

So I walked into the haze
And a million dirty ways
Now I see you lying there
Like a lie low losing air, air
Black rocks and shoreline sand
Still that summer I cannot bare
And I wipe the sand of my arms
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust
Now the waves they drag you down
Carry you to broken ground
Though I find you in the sand
Wipe you clean with dirty hands
So goddamn this boiling space
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust
