Duke Pandemonium is the second studio album by Scottish conceptual rock duo Marmaduke Duke, released on the May 11, 2009 on 14th Floor Records. Band member JP Reid describes the album as "superfunky, supertight, superunique."
According to Simon Neil, the album is "a lot more cohesive" than its predecessor The Magnificent Duke. He states that the band recorded a "dance record": "I suppose it's in that kind of TV On The Radio vibe, you know, lots of grooves and beats – I'm playing keyboard live on here, I don’t really play any guitars in this band which really helps to keep me out of that usual comfort zone."
The album entered the UK Albums Chart at #14, and includes the singles: "Kid Gloves", "Rubber Lover" and "Silhouettes".

Famous quotes containing the word duke:
“Hume’s doctrine was that the circumstances vary, the amount of happiness does not; that the beggar cracking fleas in the sunshine under a hedge, and the duke rolling by in his chariot; the girl equipped for her first ball, and the orator returning triumphant from the debate, had different means, but the same quantity of pleasant excitement.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
