Dilute

"Grape Blueprints Pour Spinach Olive Grape" by Dilute
Math Rock/Post-Rock 54 40' or Fight 2002



Download Grape Blueprints Pour Spinach Olive Grape

Dilute fills the space between American Football and Hella in the audio spectrum, with calm spindly angular guitar with very relaxed moments to loud energetic moments as well. This band has wonderful dynamics.

Also, what Dilute does that bands like Hella don't do is expand the repertoire to a full band, where Hella is two members, Dilute is several members. The singing is also wonderful, with Marty Anderson (famous for his side project Okay) singing with his creepy yet still intimate voice. This album is worth many a listen. I recommend mostly for when working on something that needs focus. It's just repetitive enough to get lost in but dynamic enough to casually enjoy and not have to think about.

For Listeners Of: Hella, Don Caballero, Lightning Bolt, Dilute, Maps and Atlases, ughgod, Tortoise, American Football, anything Zach Hill has ever touched

  1. Hey there - the link doesn't go to anything, which is a shame because I love the 2cd hella split i have and would love to hear some more of this band!

    Any chance of fixing the link?

    Thanks anyway!
