-

Electronic outfit Emeralds have announced that one of their three members, Mark McGuire has left the band.

McGuire, one of the founding members, had recently spent a lot of time working on solo material, including the Surrogate Channels EP.

The group’s Steve Hauschildt made the announcement earlier today via Twitter.

Hauschildt wrote:

“It is with much regret that I announce Mark McGuire is no longer a member of Emeralds. We wish him only the best of luck.”

Before tweeting again that they’ll continue as a twopiece:

“Emeralds will continue on as a duo consisting of myself and John. Thank you so much for your continued support over the last seven years.”

The new duo will tour worldwide later this year.
