The concept is less of a narrative story and more of a descriptive album. As the title tells, Haines describes some scenes from New York City in 1970s art world. Talking about social context, drug use, sexual liberty.

Following his two last albums, Haines namedropping a bunch of people as Lou Reed, Jim Carroll, Bill Cunningham, Jimi Hendrix, all the members of The New York Dolls and few others. The band Suicide seems to have a huge influence on the album from its style, but also as Alan Vega is referred to in the first and last track. The song City Drone sounds a lot like the band's style as well as UK Punk that sounds specifically like Suicide's Rocket U.S.A. The link can also make by the comparaison of "UK" vs "U.S.A." diminutives.

He also refers to iconic places such as Chelsea Hotel, CBGB, The Kitchen#History etc.
