About the Concert
Michael Gira (The Swans) “One of the best french band ever…”
Wire Magazine (UK): “Ulan Bator’s music follows an eccentric orbit, while their power is usually kept simmering in reserve. The players investigate the borders of song structure.They build up enormous tension (…) they played a marathon three hour set with Faust early last year. Hard to imagine, given Ulan Bator’s inherent sense of control: halting on the brink before complete freakout sets in is what makes the group so special”
Alternative Press (USA): “To say that this is the best rock music France has ever produced is to damn it with faint praise. This trio may be the only band from that oversauced nation to be worth a damn in a long time maybe since Metal Urbain or Magma (…) Call it musique concrete paved with irreverence.”

ULAN BATOR started in 1993 in Paris as a duet composed of founding member Amaury Cambuzat (Vox, Guitar and keyboards) and Olivier Manchion (Bass).
It was with the second album ” 2 degrés” (DSA-FR) that the group garnered their most enthusiastic critical praise in France, USA and elsewhere. They gave a series of concerts with the german legendary band Faust, a band with which Amaury Cambuzat continues to collaborate.
The album ” Ego Echo” (Virgin-It/DSA-Fr/Young God the Record-USA), produced by Michael Gira (Swans, Angels off Lights) marked an important turning point in the career of the group. It was released in the US by Gira’s label Young God Records (Devendra Banhart, Swans, Lisa Germano, etc).
In 2013 the band toured the USA. During 2015, Ulan Bator recorded a brand new album: A B R A C A D A B R A
produced by Amaury Cambuzat and mastered at micro-moose studio in Berlin by Douglas Henderson (The Swans: “The Seer », “To Be Kind » and « Glowing Man »).
