On Campaign right now - a cosy chat with our very own Raife Burchell and the legendary Bernard Butler about how he came to write the soundtrack for the latest Royal Navy campaign. Check it out here and you can watch the spot down the page.
Tell us about the project?
Burchell: The director Ed Morris asked Dirty Soup to help him create a track for his spot for the Royal Navy. We thought the score needed a British music legend to take on the challenge, so I asked Bernard if he would like to work on it with us. The result is a thumping guitar-soaked track called Made In Carlisle.
How did you know each other?
Butler: I met Raife recording his amazing drumming while producing his band, The Veils. We spoke about me being open to making music for film, commercials and TV.
Burchell: I’ve always been a huge fan of Bernard’s work, so was beyond excited when this brief came in as it felt like it was the perfect time to see if we could work on something together. It was.
What was the music brief?
Butler: Ed needed 60 seconds of brooding, non-repetitive sound that built the character and life of the young man. Ed and I worked hard in the mix to make sure that the track musically erupts at the moment his life matures with the Royal Navy.
How did you come up with the idea?
Butler: I spent an afternoon sketching an idea and sent it off for rough approval. Ed was really happy with this first pass but asked for a few small changes, so I spent a few more hours refining the track on my own, then a few hours with Ed in the editing suite placing the key moments to picture. The ad aired within a week of Raife showing me the brief.
Where did you record it?
Butler: 355 Studios, my London base.
What are you working on next?
Butler: My own writing and production projects, and I’m in talks over more soundtrack ideas. Burchell: We’re just wrapping up Jake Nava’s latest Army recruitment ad with the genius beatboxer Faith SFX. Right now, I’m in Los Angeles finishing up Robert Cairns’ score for Sebastian Strasser’s latest epic Audi commercial, which is also about to air. There’s also a 12-minute jazz score for Ted Baker’s autumn/winter runway show in London.

Paloma Faith – ‘Beauty Remains’
Walking us to the alter of love and heartbreak, Paloma Faith continues to chronicle a romantic desolation in the vintage tinged visual for her latest release ‘Beauty Remains’. Picking up where she left off, Faith delivers another raw, yet impactful performance for the 6th song to be taken from the ‘Outsiders’ Edition’ of her double platinum album ‘A Perfect Contradiction’.
Co-written by Faith, Bernard Butler (Suede) and Fyfe Dangerfield (The Guillemots), the song continues to uphold Paloma’s signature orchestral soul sound and is laden with nostalgic beats and backing, reminiscent of 1960’s Motown.

Bernard Butler in Guitarist Magazine, 1992 (page 2)
Pulling a heavily ‘Suede’-stickered guitar case from under his bed, his eyes seem to light up when he opens it to reveal a cherry sunburst Les Paul. This, he claims, is the only guitar he ever wanted.
"I had to have this exact guitar," he claims. "It had to be this colour and everything. I always wanted one because Johnny Marr from the Smiths had one. I know that sounds quite sad and it’s embarrassing that I copied him, but I can’t help it because I thought it looked so great on him."
"Johnny Marr really did something for me and he’s virtually the reason I started playing the guitar. The first time I saw him, I just thought he was unbelievably cool! He had this mop-top and the shades and he looked great! He had a classic Rickenbacker and you could really hear what he was playing. It was maybe because in their early day The Smiths were so simple sound-wise, the guitar was so thin and the sound was fairly quiet and you could hear these intricate little lines which were really pretty to the ear. The riff at the beginning of This Charming Man has just got to be one of the best guitar riffs ever! It’s ridiculously good. When I heard it I just couldn’t believe that someone had written it.
But I’ve never JUST listened to Johnny Marr”
