Rising New York-based producer Past Palms has released his debut self-titled EP, which he describes as being perfect to go "water your plants."

Intentionally released on Friday, the official start of summer in the the Northern Hemisphere, Past Palms features the previously released single "II. Kentia," one of five songs built around inviting, ambient soundscapes and lo-fi beats, making for a perfect soundtrack regardless of how you're spending the start of the season, whether in the city or out in nature soaking up some rays.

Past Palms calls the EP "a reflection of my complicated relationship with nature in New York." He adds: "I think for many of us living in big cities, we get used to this never-ending song of sirens and trucks, a constant painting of grey and concrete everywhere. To counterbalance that, we fill our homes with nature, but no matter how many tropical plants we have, we’re still in an industrial metropolis. And that’s what the EP is about; yearning for nature in a nature-less place."
