Kitty Committee, one of the recording studios credited for Taylor Swift’s “august,” is in Los Angeles.
The song’s studio credits also list Rough Customer in Brooklyn. That detail can cause confusion because the track was created remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Swift and her collaborators working across locations rather than using a single traditional studio setting.
Jack Antonoff developed the instrumental and sent it to Swift, who wrote the lyrics quickly and intuitively. The collaboration ultimately produced a song with layered guitars, keyboards, strings, and reverb, giving “august” its expansive, dreamlike sound.
Los Angeles is also relevant to Swift’s wider recording history, but Kitty Committee should not be confused with New York’s Rough Customer. The question asks for the city attached specifically to Kitty Committee’s studio credit.
