Which Brooklyn studio is listed for Taylor Swift’s song “august”?

Taylor Swift’s song “august” is listed as having been recorded at Rough Customer in Brooklyn.

The song was created for Folklore, Swift’s surprise-released 2020 album. Its credits identify Swift and Jack Antonoff as songwriters, with Swift, Antonoff, and Joe Alwyn as producers. The recording information names two studios: Kitty Committee in Los Angeles and Rough Customer in Brooklyn.

A common mix-up is reversing the two locations or assuming that the song’s hazy, intimate sound means it was recorded in only one studio. The Brooklyn credit is specifically Rough Customer, while Kitty Committee is the Los Angeles location. The song later became strongly associated with August through annual streaming increases and social-media posts, despite originally being released in July.
