A BOOK ABOUT “Doom” that in its first chapter quotes from “Dad’s Army”, “Beyond the Fringe” and Monty Python, all classics of British comedy, lifts a reviewer’s spirit.

Near the beginning of the pandemic, the members of Denver psych-rock band Eldren were in the same position as other acts around the globe: They couldn’t tour, and they couldn’t rehearse or record together. But they wanted to keep collaborating in some way, so singer/guitarist Nasir Malik proposed that the band challenge itself by creating an album solely of cover songs.
