MILVAIN

Milvain is a the alt-folk project of emerging Suffolk-based singer-songwriter Eleanor Petheram. Influenced by the likes of Sufjan Stevens and Jessica Pratt, she weaves a soothing sound that is both ethereal and earthy. Her debut single ‘Lake’ has established her as one to watch, with praise from BBC Introducing describing her live performance as “absolutely astounding”. In Spring 2025, she was selected as an Airspace musician in residence at Old Jet Art Centre by Jesse Quin (Keane). There she has been developing her first EP for release later this year, a project that expands her otherwordly, tactile sound into chamber-folk territory. Her recent single ‘Pulpit’ features in the film Stinging Nettles (dir. Jerusha West) alongside music by Caroline Polachek, which premiered at LSFF 2026. After supporting Esme Emerson at Old Jet’s recent fundraiser, Milvain now performs live with a 3-piece band.
