LN is a slowcore band from Ohio that has released several albums and EPs on California-based independent record label Velvet Blue Music. LN is primarily the work of artist Gary Murray.

Name

LN was originally short for Love Neptune.^[1] The name was shortened because Velvet Blue Music was already associated with the bands Starflyer 59 and Jupiter James, and it was felt that the addition of Love Neptune to the roster would make it too spacey.

Beginning in 2006, Gary Murray began releasing music under his own name.
