The Second Hand Orchestra ~ Puzzle

The Second Hand Orchestra‘s last two releases were cover-dominant, but immensely appealing.  The Slow Summer EP contained orchestral versions of summer nuggets including “Summertime Sadness” and “Cruel Summer,” as well as a traditional Swedish graduation tune, recorded outdoors.  Before that
