Which Brooklyn studio is credited on Taylor Swift’s “august”?

Rough Customer in Brooklyn is credited on Taylor Swift’s “august.”

The track’s studio listing names both Rough Customer and Kitty Committee in Los Angeles. This two-city credit reflects the distributed way Folklore was made during the COVID-19 pandemic. Producer Jack Antonoff developed the instrumental, then sent it to Swift, who wrote the lyrics quickly and intuitively.

Rough Customer is connected especially with Antonoff’s instrumental and recording work on the project. The production also involved contributions recorded at other locations, including Long Pond Studio in New York’s Hudson Valley and facilities in Maine and Florida. These credits show that a song can have several recording sites rather than one single birthplace.

Rough Customer should not be confused with Kitty Committee. Kitty Committee is the Los Angeles studio listed for “august,” while Rough Customer is the Brooklyn studio. Both are part of the song’s official studio information.
