Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'Who We Touch' was released in 2010, The Charlatans had experienced significant lineup changes, with keyboardist Rob Collins having passed away in 1996. This album marked their tenth studio release and showcased a matured sound while still retaining their classic psychedelic roots, following the more commercially successful 'You Cross My Path' from 2008.
