The No Comprendo

The No Comprendo (1986) finds French duo Les Rita Mitsouko refining their eclectic blend of rock, electronic and synth-pop into a theatrical art-pop statement. The album pairs Catherine Ringer's expressive, theatrical vocals with Fred Chichin's angular guitar work over danceable rhythms and layered synth textures, producing songs that move between catchy pop melodies and offbeat, experimental touches. Its bold arrangements and genre-mixing approach helped define the duo's distinctive sound in the mid 1980s.
