The Kitty Committee studio listed for Taylor Swift’s “august” is in Los Angeles. The song’s recording information also names Rough Customer Studio in Brooklyn, New York, reflecting the geographically distributed production of Folklore. Swift and her collaborators worked remotely during the COVID-19 lockdowns, exchanging files and ideas between locations.
Kitty Committee is associated with Swift’s Los Angeles recording work, while Rough Customer was used for sessions connected to Jack Antonoff and other collaborators in New York. The two locations are both part of the song’s official studio credits, so Los Angeles is the answer when the question specifies Kitty Committee.
A common confusion is Nashville, where Swift built much of her early career and recorded many country-pop projects. Folklore’s creation instead involved a more dispersed network of studios and home setups. That unusual production process helped give “august” its layered, atmospheric sound despite the restrictions of 2020.
