In which city were Taylor Swift’s “august” vocals and recording sessions made at Kitty Committee studio?

The story behind the answer

Taylor Swift’s “august” was recorded at Kitty Committee studio in Los Angeles. The song’s recording history also includes Rough Customer in Brooklyn, while mixing took place at Long Pond Studio in Hudson Valley.

The credits distinguish between recording, mixing, and mastering locations. Kitty Committee is associated with Los Angeles, and Rough Customer is associated with Brooklyn. Keeping those stages separate prevents the common mistake of naming Long Pond as the recording location.

Long Pond became especially recognizable because it hosted the Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions documentary. However, the song’s Wikipedia credits list Long Pond as a mixing location rather than the sole recording studio.

The production involved Swift, Jack Antonoff, and Joe Alwyn. Additional instrumental recording took place at studios in Portland, Maine, and Lakeland, Florida, showing that the finished track drew on work from several locations.
