The band was planning a third album [1] 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'. [2] [7]

In 2015 Marty Anderson released Dilute - Live [8] 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, though the album is now semi lost media as the bandcamp page is no longer available.
