Sort of a paen to hedonism. I haven't listened to his second album as much as his first, but the first is the story of his character, Father John Misty, moving out to Laurel Canyon and getting involved and sucked into all sorts of debauchery and basically having a mental breakdown/crisis of faith as he explores the dark side of Hollywood.
