IYP Presents: Credit Electric

Credit Electric was founded in 2017 by songwriter Ryan Lo Pilato and

Guitarist Cameron Iturri-Carpenter. After a handful of years writing and

Recording under the solo moniker Haunted Houses, Lo Pilato had recently

made the move outwest from his home state New Jersey and settled

In Oakland, CA. Eager to strike up a collaboration in his new environs, it

wasn’t long until a neighborhood friend introduced Lo Pilato

Iturri-Carpenter, a Sonoma County native who had most recently been

living in Kansas and playing in a honkytonk band.

The pair began playing together regularly, writing and arranging what

would become their self-titled debut album. Produced by Thom Monahan

(Devendra Banhart, FruitBats, Vetiver) and recorded at Tiny Telephone

In San Francisco, the album was fleshed out by pedal steel guitarist and

Fellow NJ native Evan Hiller, bassist Nathan Smith, and drummer/engineer

Stephen Boyd. Recorded live in the studio by Monahan, and featuring

Eric Johnson of Fruit Bats on keyboards, the album paired organic sounds

That recall the best moments of early 70s American folk-rock with world

Weary lyrics and a rustic indie sensibility influence by Jason Molina.

Now a full band, the group began playing regularly in the Bay Area. From

Headlining shows at local haunts Starline Social Club and Amnesia, to

Supports lots with groups like US Girls, Japanese Breakfast, and more,

The band built a loyal following. In 2018 they played Huichica Music

Festival in Sonoma, CA and hit the road in support of their debut album,

Playing a handful of West Coast dates with Fruit Bats and Vetiver.
