"Graveola today marshals formidable musical dexterity and a flare for melodious and rhythmically complex pop compositions. Furthermore, these compositions and arrangements display deep understanding of, and easy freedom with, a range of Brazilian musical styles from maracatu and bossa nova to tropicalia and MPB, as well as genres from Cape Verde, Argentina and the Caribbean, all stitched together with arranging chops worthy of late-Beatles art pop. The musicians describe their songs using terms like "carnival cannibalism," "shamanic funaná," "psychedelic maracatu," "weird salsa," and "schizo-rock-fake-reggae." Behind these playful and sometimes brilliant genre mashups there is the band's gonzo poetry of resistance and social activism".
