Gil Landau and Yael Shoshana Cohen met in Tel Aviv through mutual friends. The idea of the group was conceived at Landau's birthday party in February 2011, when the band members began playing songs on Landau's father's old guitar. Landau and Shoshana dated briefly while forming the band, but went back to being bandmates. Landau and Cohen wrote and performed songs for 18 months before bringing on additional musicians. Mati Gilad, Rami Osservaser, Dekel Dvir joined them shortly after. The group started performing in local clubs. They were spotted by the leading local indie label Anova Music who signed the band. The band's name was arrived at when the members were calling out possible names for the group and the name Lola Marsh was suggested and stuck. The duo gained notoriety on the heels of their 2014 performance at Primavera Sound Festival. The band premiered their first single, "Sirens", via Nylon Magazine in March 2015; Nylon said of the song: "The Dreamy Tel Aviv Band's latest song, "Sirens", offers a twist on the typical sweet-yet-gritty indie sound...The track seems ready made for Quentin Tarantino's next film score.” The song was later featured in the American TV show Scream. The band's second single, "You're Mine", was released in May 2015 via Pigeons and Plane. It garnered over six million plays on Spotify and landed in the service’s top 3 Most Viral Tracks as well as in the top 3 of Hype Machine's Most Popular Tracks ranking.
