text: # Who We Touch
  
  Who We Touch is the eleventh album by British alternative rock band The Charlatans, released on 6 September 2010. It was released in a standard version and a two disc version. The second CD contained early demos, alternate mixes of tracks from the standard album, and some out-takes that didn't make it on to the album. The album charted at #21 in the UK album charts. The album was later released digitally.
  
  This is the Charlatans' final studio album to feature drummer Jon Brookes, who was absent from the band's tour supporting the album due to getting treatment for a brain tumour. He was replaced on the tour by The Verve drummer Peter Salisbury; Brookes subsequently died in 2013.
