The Profile

Ulan Bator is a French post-rock/experimental rock band formed in Paris in 1993 by Amaury Cambuzat and Olivier Manchion. Their sound blends krautrock impulses, noise textures, and melodic minimalism. They have collaborated with members of Faust and are acclaimed for intense live performances.

Reviews note phases from a raw experimental core to more melodic work, with key contributions from Egle Sommacal and Matteo Dainese in the 2000s. The EP Soleils (2009) ties to Cambuzat’s Acid Cobra Records and precedes Tohu-Bohu. Cambuzat has collaborated and performed with Faust.

French post-rock outfit Ulan Bator emerges in the reviews as adventurous, underrated, and lethal on stage. Highlights include the stark elegance of Végétale, the finely produced Ego:Echo, and the avant-pop glow of Nouvel Air. The Soleils EP signals a fresh era around 2009, with collaborations and label moves. Frequently linked to krautrock finesse and noise textures, they remain a cult favorite.
