At which two studios was Taylor Swift’s “august” recorded?

The story behind the answer

Taylor Swift’s “august” was recorded at Kitty Committee and Rough Customer studios.

Kitty Committee was located in Los Angeles, while Rough Customer was in Brooklyn. The song’s recording credits also identify additional locations for specific instrumental work, including Long Pond, Pleasure Hill Recording, and Sound House Recording.

Mixing and mastering were separate stages. The track was mixed at Long Pond Studio in New York’s Hudson Valley and mastered at Sterling Sound in New York City. Those facilities should not be confused with the two primary recording studios named in the question.

The production involved Swift and Jack Antonoff, with Joe Alwyn credited as a co-producer by the Recording Academy after Folklore won Album of the Year. The layered result helped give “august” its hazy, cinematic character.
