What Is Free To A Good Home? is a companion piece to the album Knives Don't Have Your Back. It contains five previously unreleased songs from the Knives recording sessions, as well as a remix of Knives track "Mostly Waving" by Soft Skeleton member and noted composer/arranger Todor Kobajov. The title of the EP is the name of a poem her father, poet Paul Haines, wrote for Robert Wyatt. The EP also includes a setting of another Paul Haines poem, "Sprig", which was produced by Dave Newfeld (Super Furry Animals, Broken Social Scene).
