theres this album called "masked dancers" by brave little abacus. its not as well known as their later release, "just got back from the discomfort". but its very much worth listening to today. the bands grasp on math rock instrumentation and its midwest tones combine surprisingly well with the off kilter implementation of noise and samples. despite shaping a lot of midwest emo conventions that we see today, there really isnt anything else like it.
you should probably listen to it at some point :)
