***Lohio*** is the sixth and final studio album by [Ohio](/source/Ohio)-based [indie rock](/source/Indie_rock) band [Ass Ponys](/source/Ass_Ponys). It was released on June 12, 2001, on [Checkered Past Records](/source/Checkered_Past_Records). It was produced by Brad Jones, who also produced their previous album, *[Some Stupid with a Flare Gun](/source/Some_Stupid_with_a_Flare_Gun)*.[1] Ass Ponys frontman [Chuck Cleaver](/source/Chuck_Cleaver) thought that the album was the Ass Ponys' best, which was one reason the band disbanded soon after it was released.[2]

## Critical reception

*Lohio* received mixed reviews when it was originally released.[3] One favorable review was written by Kevin Oliver of *[PopMatters](/source/PopMatters)*, who wrote that the album "provides ample proof of [Ass Ponys'] natural progression into a kind of alternative-universe country rock."[4] In 2012, Ned Lannamann of the *[Portland Mercury](/source/Portland_Mercury)* called *Lohio* "a dark, weird, marvelous album" and "a record of heartland rock that, for once, accurately reflected the state of the American heartland—one troubled by blight, marginalized by big-box businesses, and pepped up on meth."[5]
