We stumble onto the topic of the occult as we saunter down the aisles of Posman Books in Chelsea Market and a tarot book stops the musician in her tracks. Her interest, she explains, was originally ignited by the \u201cwoo-woo nanny\u201d she had growing up who used to take her and her sisters to metaphysical stores, though she\u2019s always had \u201cweird premonition-like dreams.\u201d While in Scotland, she would dream she was on the property long before the estate was built, back when the grounds were covered in huts. It\u2019s hard to explain, but she swears by the story\u2019s trippiness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt really opened my eyes and switched me from being somewhat skeptical like, \u2018I have to see it to believe it.\u2019 After that I was like, \u2018You can&#8217;t turn me back from that. I&#8217;ve seen too much sh*t,&#8221; she says. \u201cEveryone can experience it. You just have to open up to it and not look for it. It&#8217;s never when you&#8217;re searching for it.\u201d (In case you\u2019re wondering: Grohl is an Aries sun, Scorpio moon, and Libra rising.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 E1M\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:133.3333%\" class=\"vmZ F8Y ap2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/5\/12\/8ed013d6\/img_6335.jpg?w=375&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>She also has a passion for genealogy, which has resulted in her becoming the unofficial historian of her family.

The duet not only caught the \u201cBad Guy\u201d singer\u2019s attention, but earned Grohl a shout out in Eilish\u2019s Same Interview series with Vanity Fair. That alone was enough to make her \u201cfreak the f*ck out,\u201d but it was nothing compared to what would happen backstage at Camp Flog Gnaw a few weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer dad walked over and gave me his headset and let me listen to her vocals, like, basically isolated,\u201d she says. \u201cI was sitting on a road case and crying so hard. It makes me emotional talking about it. It was like the f*cking craziest thing ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 E1M LRM\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:177.3399%\" class=\"Rfb F8Y sMW\"><video controls playsinline class=\"kOK U-k\"><\/video><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s safe to assume Grohl will have even more once-in-a-lifetime stories to add to her canon once <em>Be Sweet To Me<\/em> is out in the world. Created with the help of Kim Gordon\u2019s producer Justin Raisen, the record is rooted in the same alt-rock sound her father helped originate, but don\u2019t call it a grunge revival. Sure, the project has raucous guitar riffs, sludgy tempos, and droning vocals a plenty, but in Grohl\u2019s mind, a few decades-old production choices does not a grunge record make. \u201cI don&#8217;t think grunge will ever come back,\u201d she says. \u201cIt&#8217;s not really a genre. It&#8217;s more of an era and a movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So if she\u2019s not trying to spearhead Grunge 2.0, why did she create an album that sounds like it came straight from the \u201890s Seattle scene? &#8220;This is just the kind of music I want to make,\u201d she continues. \u201cThat&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve grown up listening to [and] what I lean towards the most on my own listening. When it comes to making music, it helps me get across what I want to get across in the most authentic or the most \u2018me\u2019 way that I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"QYV Qev\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div class=\"uT7\">\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/5\/12\/2d6430d8\/img_6333.jpg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/5\/12\/552a6e31\/img_6353.jpg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-466661434\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\">\n<div class=\"F6c\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button>1 \/ 2<button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"igl f5y\"><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"itG\">1 \/ 2<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Following its release, she\u2019ll play a series of headlining shows and support The Breeders on tour \u2014 pretty major considering the influence Kim and Kelley Deal have had on Grohl\u2019s record and career as a whole. \u201c[The Deal sisters] are so fucking badass.
