Dutch conceptual art-pop-electro pioneers Minny Pops will cap a year that has seen their first live performances in over 30 years with the release of their first new material in a similar length of time in the form of a single on Tim Burgess's O Genesis label out 26 November 2012.

Front man Wally van Middendorp says that the vinyl/digital download comprising Waiting For This To Happen/Glistering is "the never-hoped-for bonus of our reformation. It has been a long journey from FAC 31 to OGEN 19."

For the recording of the new material, the band returned to Stockport where the aforementioned FAC 31 single had been recorded in 1980 at Strawberry Studios with producer Martin Hannett behind the desk. The current Minny Pops line up of van Middendorp, Wim Dekker (keyboards), Pieter Mulder (bass), Thomas Myrmel (programming) and Mark Ritsema (guitar) spent an afternoon in September 2012 at Eve Studios with O Genesis proprietor (and FAC fan) Tim Burgess producing.
