Earlier this month, The Pretty Reckless announced their fifth studio album “Dear God” and dropped a new single/video for the hard rocking track “When I Wake Up.” Singer Taylor Momsen said of the new tune: “‘When I Wake Up’ is the story of a dream becoming a nightmare. When a life of excess leads you on a rollercoaster that is doomed to crash but you just can’t see it. It’s a good time…”
The Pretty Reckless are currently in South America continuing their long opening trek for AC/DC, but Momsen appeared last week on “Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk” via SiriusXM to plug the band’s new song and album. Trunk asked her how she decompresses from her often busy schedule, and Momsen revealed her new obsession for relaxing.
“I try to find time,” she said. “I haven’t really had a break in — I’m not sure how long, but I also spent so much time… With COVID and not getting to fully tour ‘Death By Rock And Roll’ in the traditional sense, the way we normally would tour a record and all that, I feel like I took a long — that almost felt like a hiatus in a weird way. So I feel very good being super busy right now. And I find moments for myself in… I was raised working all the time — I started working at two years old — so I learned to find solace in my own head. And so that’s not a blocked off vacation. It’s not traditional like that. So I find moments — it’s about finding moments with yourself. And my new obsession’s crocheting, and I find it meditative. I crochet for an hour and think in silence or with music. And that’s a break. [Laughs] And it works for me. So I’m cool with that.”
She added: “Someone taught me to crochet on the first tour, and it’s become an obsession of mine in a way that I kind of can’t believe I haven’t done it my whole life. I’m fully addicted to it. It’s like a new meditation tactic for me. So just endless blankets — I can make endless blankets.”
