Dilute was an indie and math rock band formed in 1996 in Fremont, California, active from 1997 to 2002. Its members have been in bands such as Okay, Natural Dreamers, 31knots, and Jacques Kopstein. They have two full-length studio albums, The Gypsy Valentine Curve (Self released in 2000 and later re-distributed by 54°40' or Fight! in 2001) and Grape Blueprints Pour Spinach Olive Grape (2001), and a live album with Hella. They had been signed through three record labels, 54°40' or Fight!, Toad Records, and Sickroom Records.
The band was planning a third album but disbanded before it was ever finished.
Marty Anderson would be housebound due to his Crohn's disease getting worse in 2001, later began the musical project 'Okay'.
In 2015 Marty Anderson released Dilute - Live on his bandcamp page, which included songs from the Hella + Dilute live split in better quality and songs from the 2003 Mini-CD Live Recordings that came with the 2003 Japanese reissue of The Gypsy Valentine Curve by Toad Records and also a few extra songs from live performances.
