Where was Taylor Swift’s “august” recorded before its mix at Long Pond Studio?

Taylor Swift’s “august” was recorded at Kitty Committee and Rough Customer before its mix at Long Pond Studio.

Kitty Committee is in Los Angeles, while Rough Customer is in Brooklyn. The track was mixed at Long Pond Studio in New York’s Hudson Valley and mastered at Sterling Sound in New York City. Separating recording, mixing, and mastering locations is important because Long Pond is often associated with Folklore through the later documentary and album performances.

Folklore was created during the pandemic through remote collaboration, with Swift and her producers working across different locations. The Long Pond setting became especially prominent when Swift, Aaron Dessner, and Jack Antonoff later performed the album together for Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions. That documentary connection does not mean every track was originally recorded there.
