about

Essentiellement chanté en français, à haute teneur mélodique, sans crissements de dents sonores, c'est un véritable renouveau, voire une seconde naissance, auquel on assiste avec ce disque qu'on n'attendait pas de la part d'Ulan Bator, et ce malgré son parcours exemplaire. Du passé, A maury Cambuzat et ses hommes ont gardé le sens de la texture qui fondait leur musique sonique. Le choix de Robin Guthrie au mixage était important. Ulan Bator cherchait visiblement quelqu'un capable d'arrondir les angles aigus et blessants du son, pour se concentrer sur d'authentiques et atypiques ballades, qui jouent magiquement de contrastes entre éléments liquides fortement chargés d'effets sonores, attaques plus heurtées et volutes fermement encadrées. La dimension épique et dramatique du groupe s'adoucit alors, dans une pop étonnamment accueillante, dont la profondeur se creuse au fil des écoutes. Niché confortablement au sein de la musique, exhalé tout près du micro, le chant mérite lui aussi l'écoute attentive que livrera la lecture instructive des textes. Enfin, la pochette, très pop art, colorée, mystérieuse, peuplée de personnages aux visées potentiellement subversives, offre un résumé pertinent du contenu. Une mutation fantastique.

about

ULAN BATOR France

ULAN BATOR started their long carrier in 1993 in Paris as a duet composed of Amaury Cambuzat (Vox, Guitar and keyboards) and Olivier Manchion (Bass).
Their first rehearsals sessions happened in a deep, unused chalk-mine in the suburbs of Paris.
This strange location was, step by step, transformed into a "recording studio" where they were to record, compose and produce their first three recordings. ... more
