Reconfiguring St. Vincent’s self-produced *All Born Screaming* for a Spanish-speaking audience may not have been an obvious choice. Then again, when has the modern-day guitar god Annie Clark done what’s expected of her or taken a conventional route? Converting the lyrics and rerecording her vocals account for the overt changes present on *Todos Nacen Gritando*, which otherwise maintains the track order and runtime of the English-language original. Much like a faithful literary translation for a Latin American audience, the integrity of the material remains intact, the robust riffage on “Hombre Roto” and sonic swells of “La Fruta Mas Dulce” hitting reliably hard. Dave Grohl’s drums still shatter on the “Pulga” chorus, Clark’s earnestly possessive chorus just as evocative as before. If nothing else, these versions simply make the songs more accessible to those who might have missed some of the meanings and sentiments behind them.
