When the post-punk quartet the D'Urbervilles took a break in 2008, singer-guitarist John O'Regan began working on the solo project Diamond Rings. And even though he became known for channeling the glam androgyny of David Bowie and Annie Lennox, the raw but hook-laden synth-pop of his 2010 album, 'Special Affections,' spoke for itself. Diamond Rings returned last year with a bigger and bolder follow-up, 'Free Dimensional.' But it's still his songwriting that shines through, even when stripped of all the trappings of modern pop, never more apparent than in this take on "All the Time" in a SoHo apartment.
