City on the Bridge is the self-titled debut album by Mitch Guss.
The music reflects his life of wandering and quiet observance of the world.

The time I recorded this was a turning point in my life.
I had just returned to the USA from a two-year trip in Japan and was going through a lot of culture shock.

I was never really confident in writing songs but I did it anyway,
probably because I needed a way to express myself and had nothing better to do.

--------------------------------------------

今回のアルバムはMitch Gussによる、セルフタイトルのデビューアルバムです。
日常の事などを、曲にしています。

このアルバムを作った時が、自分の人生の転換期でした。
日本に2年滞在し、たくさんのカルチャーショックを受け、
アメリカに帰って来たときに、作ったアルバムです。

このアルバムを作ったことで、自信につながるようなことはないですが、
自分自身を表現する手段が必要で、音楽以外に出来ることもないので
今回のアルバムを作りました。
