Web of Mimicry is an independent record label based in San Francisco, California, specializing in avant-rock, experimental, and instrumental music. Founded in 1998 by guitarist Trey Spruance of Mr. Bungle and Secret Chiefs 3, the label serves as the primary home for Secret Chiefs 3 while supporting a roster of like-minded artists.
History Web of Mimicry was established by Spruance in 1998 as an outlet for experimental music projects from the Bay Area, building on his work with Mr. Bungle and Secret Chiefs 3. Known for blending rock, jazz, electronic, and world music, the label operates independently and has been described as existing on the "outskirts of the music industry."
It distributes music digitally via Bandcamp and physically through partners like Midheaven Mailorder. Notable releases include the 2004 compilation Satellite Supersonic Vol. 1 and Secret Chiefs 3’s multimedia project "Theatron Animatronique."
