I'll get a full album for a proper evaluation, as judging by these samples alone my vote would be an easy "no".

Alex: You can stream all of Eingya on Grooveshark. I'd recommend checking out the debut Unomia, it's probably the most post-rocky overall. Ayres also has plenty of proggy textures and structures IMO.
For what it's worth, after familiarizing myself with his entire discography, I find it to be most definitely progressive.
Btw, Helios is a solo project Truthy

Congratulations! It took you only 2 years! Clap

Better late than never as the saying goes. But yeah, the post rock team was in need of some help in the additions department and I've been doing my best to give it.
