***Friendly Bacteria*** is the fifth studio album by the British musician and [DJ](/source/Disc_jockey) [Mr. Scruff](/source/Mr._Scruff). It was released on 19 May 2014 by the labels [Ninja Tune](/source/Ninja_Tune)/[Ninja Tuna](/source/Ninja_Tuna_(label)) simultaneously.

## Background

According to Mr. Scruff, the album would "display a stripped-back musicality, a depth that maybe hasn't been there before", and musically it would be "tougher, sparser, [with] less samples, more bass. More vocals and collaborations and shorter tunes".[1]

On 28 February 2014, "Render Me", a song that would ultimately be featured in the album, was streamed on [YouTube](/source/YouTube) via Mr. Scruff's official channel.[2]

## Personnel

- Mr. Scruff (Andrew Carthy) – all instruments, production
