Charlatan is the debut studio album by American alternative rock band Victorian Halls. The 12-track [1][2][3][4] album was recorded in Los Angeles in Cameron Webb's recording studio [5] and released on 16 August 2011 by Victory Records.[6] The vinyl version of Charlatan was released on white-and-green marbled record, with a number of copies featuring an etching on the inner ring of the disc, as an inside joke, of the band professing their producer's love for Justin Bieber. To promote the album, the band issued an interactive e-card [7] containing a preview of each track from their new record.

The cover art for the album [8] was painted by Chelsea Greene Lewyta, a freelance avant-garde illustrator living in New York City, US.
