Dilute was an indie and math rock band formed in 1996[1] in Fremont, California, active from 1997[1] to 2002.[2] Its members have been in bands such as Okay, Natural Dreamers, 31knots, and Jacques Kopstein.[3] 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)[4] and Grape Blueprints Pour Spinach Olive Grape (2001), and a live album with Hella.[5][6] They had been signed through three record labels, 54°40' or Fight!, Toad Records, and Sickroom Records.
The band was planning a third album[1] but disbanded before it was ever finished.
