Damon Albarn of the Gorillaz gave the album, The Fall, away as a free download to fanclub members last December. Now the album is coming out on CD, vinyl and paid-for download in April.

The entire album was recorded on Albarn’s iPad and produced by Stephen Sedgwick.

The Fall will be released on 180g vinyl on April 16, for Record Store Day. The CD release will follow on April 18 as well as the paid-for download.

Albarn said of the album, which he recorded on the band’s 2010 tour: “I did it because there’s a lot of time that you just spend staring at walls, essentially. And it was fantastic way of doing it. I found working in the day, whether it’s in the hotel or in the venue, was a brilliant way of keeping myself well.”

The band also revealed the iPad apps they used for the album last year. I wonder if Albarn will upgrade to the iPad 2 and use the camera to record the next music video, that would be the cherry on top.
