By 2003, David J. started recording his own version of lo-fi indie folk-pop under the moniker "Novi Split."
[3] After releasing Novi Split's first record, Kind of Like Spitting broke up.
[1] Since then, Novi Split has released one album, Pink in the Sink and one EP, Hollow Notes.
Each of these records have received positive reviews[4] and have even led to Novi Split's music being featured on the popular WB/CW television series One Tree Hill on two occasions.
Episode 7.06, "Deep Ocean Vast Sea" featured the song Leaving It from Pink in the Sink,[5] and episode 7.01, "4:30am (Apparently They Were Travelling Abroad)," featured the song Hollow Notes, which can be found on the DECA Compilation and well as the Hollow Notes EP.
