In interview footage, Clark recalls the time she tried making a music documentary to cover her life both on- and off-stage.

Although she is initially hesitant, a series of frustrating events, along with thinking that Brownstein does not find her interesting despite their friendship, convinces Clark to commit to the bit before, during, and after a concert.

Clark also continues playing St. Vincent whenever the cameras are not filming, and refuses to let Brownstein take a day off to visit her father, who is battling cancer.

Brownstein returns to the bus to discover that St. Vincent is throwing a party where everyone, including the band members, is wearing a wig in Clark's hairstyle.

Brownstein and St. Vincent record the music video for the song, "The Nowhere Inn", where Clark imagines her singing behind a ghoulish version of herself on stage.

Clark then immediately walks over to where she was recording the main interview, and claims it was Brownstein, not her, who lost sight of the goal.

It was released on digital streaming services on September 17, 2021, and later on vinyl on April 23, 2022, as part of the Record Store Day.

The website's critics consensus reads: "The Nowhere Inn may be a clever concept in search of substance, but the results are often oddly appealing.
