      Lola Marsh(Hebrew:  לולה מארש) is an Israeli indie pop band from Tel Aviv. The band was formed as a duo in 2013 by Gil Landau (guitars, keyboards) and Yael Shoshana Cohen (vocals), and was quickly signed by the indie label Anova Music. The group released their first EP, You're Mine, under Universal Records-Barclay in January 2016.

     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 (Bass), Rami Osservaser (Guitar, Keyboards), Dekel Dvir (Drums and samplers) 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.

Lost and found

My mind, but only for a moment

All my crimes are safe, beneath my heart

 

And I try, oh, I try

To pretend that I am fine

Tell me why, oh, tell me why

I need you by my side

 

And suddenly I'm bored, I'm dancing in the dark

Counting all the billboards, and the city lights

I keep all my affection in a paper cup

Oh I, oh I'm

 

Running after bluebirds, show you what I've got

Save all my tomorrows from the lonely nights

Can you hear me crying? Baby I'm alright

Oh I, oh I

 

Rest your eyes

Better days are coming, I can feel it

All my lies are safe beside you now

 

And I try, oh, I try

To pretend that I'm fine

Tell me why, oh, tell me why

I need you by my side

 

And suddenly I'm bored, I'm dancing in the dark

Counting all the billboards and the city lights

I keep all my affection in a paper cup

Oh I, oh I'm

 

Running after bluebirds, show you what I've got

Save all my tomorrows from the lonely night

Can you hear me crying? Baby, I'm alright

Oh I, oh, I

 

You stayed only for a moment

I said "Stay with me a while"

You faded like a pretty snowflake

That I was holding in my hand

You stayed only for a moment

I said "Stay with me a while"

You faded like a pretty snowflake

That I was holding in my hand

 

Lost and found

My mind, but only for a moment.
