The song was inspired by the story of the Winchester Mystery House in California. The widow of gun magnate William Winchester, Sarah Winchester was convinced she was haunted by the ghosts of men felled by her husband's weapons. She believed the only way to keep the spirits at bay was to continue construction on the house, turning it into a maze of twists, turns and dead ends. Construction continued for 38 years until her death in 1922. The song is possibly shorter than this description of it. I hope you enjoy it.

Dog Ears
'So It Goes' EP
(Proper Songs)

Dog Ears, the solo project of Mat Baynton of Special Benny, releases his debut 7" vinyl EP in November on Proper Songs.

Inspired by artists such as DM Stith, Jason Molina, Bowerbird, the songs were written and recorded at his home in Greenwich with contributions by Mat’s band mates. Ben Gates contributed arrangements for ‘The Howling’ and ‘Like Rain’ and played drums, piano, trumpet, sax and melodica, while Tom Corbett mixed and mastered the EP.

The distinctive cutout book sleeve image was created by Rachael Edwards after a conversation struck up on Twitter about ‘The Art of Looking Sideways’.
