(EP)
(1996)
Quarashi is the debut album by the group of the same name, released on 13 October 1997 in Iceland (see 1997 in music). Already popular in Iceland thanks to the EP, Switchstance, Quarashi released their first full-length album with more of the hip-hop infused rock, techno, and funk that brought them fame in the first place. 6,000 copies of Quarashi were made, and all 6,000 copies were soon sold, making the album go gold in Iceland. Like Switchstance, it is rare to find a copy of Quarashi today, but the CD is known to show up on eBay every once in a while.
Because an egg appears on the album cover, fans have come to call Quarashi, "The Egg Album" in order to avoid confusion between the group and the name of their first album.
