Kitty Committee in Los Angeles is one of the credited recording studios for Taylor Swift’s “august.” The song was also recorded at Rough Customer in Brooklyn.
The two-studio credit reflects the remote and distributed production of Folklore. Swift recorded vocals in Los Angeles, while collaborators worked from other locations. The finished track was mixed at Long Pond Studio in New York’s Hudson Valley, which is different from the Los Angeles recording site.
This distinction matters because Long Pond is strongly associated with Folklore. It hosted the later studio sessions filmed for Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, but that does not make it the only place where “august” was recorded.
The song’s polished sound came from combining performances and production work across several studios. Its annual August trend often draws attention to the song’s atmosphere, while the recording credits reveal the geographically dispersed process behind that atmosphere.
