April is the fifth album by the band VAST.

VAST recorded two different versions of the album. The Online Version was recorded all in one take with little mastering, which was then released in 2006 as an online download on Crosby's independent label, 2blossoms. This version is not considered to be the "finished" version, according to Jon Crosby. The Retail Version, released on October 16, 2007, is the fully mastered, completed version of the album, and features differing track lengths, a reordered track list, and the addition of the songs Dedicate (A Place for Me), Everything Passing By, Frog, Is It Me and Take Me with You.

The tracks "Be with Me" and "I Can't Say No (To You)" previously appeared on Nude and Turquoise & Crimson (Retail Version), however on this release they are performed in a more acoustic fashion.
