Taylor Momsen is "addicted" to crocheting.

The Pretty Reckless frontwoman, 32, has revealed she took up needlework during her first tour with the band and she now uses it as a "meditation tactic" whenever she feels the need to relax - and she ends up making "endless blankets".

During an appearance on SiriusXM's Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, Taylor explained her "obsession" with crocheting grew because she rarely ever takes time off from work so she needs short breaks. She said: "I try to find time. I haven't really had a break in ... I'm not sure how long ... 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. And it works for me. So I'm cool with that."

She went on to add of her hobby: "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."

During the radio appearance, Taylor also spoke about the band's new album Dear God, which is due to land in June - five years after their last release Death By Rock And Roll in 2021.

She admitted the recording process took a lot longer than expected. saying: "The recording of this record alone took way longer than anticipated just because of scheduling.

"We actually recorded it over the course of two years, which normally it would be done in - well, I don't wanna put a timeline on it, but it wouldn't take two years.

"So that's part of it, but also life. I take time in between albums because I have to live life in between. I have to have something to write about.

"I have to reflect on everything I just did with the previous record and kind of put that to bed in one way, but also see where the story's gonna take me next."
