"Stonemilker" is a song recorded by Icelandic singer and musician Björk for her eighth studio album, Vulnicura, in 2015. It was written and produced by Björk with beats by Venezuelan musician Arca. "Stonemilker" is Vulnicura's opening track and the first of a six-part narrative that details the devastating end of Björk's relationship with American contemporary artist Matthew Barney. Björk wrote the lyrics on the same Icelandic beach where the innovative 360-degree music video was later shot.
"Stonemilker" was released as a promotional single in some territories in 2015 and received very limited airplay in a shortened radio edit. Unlike her previous studio albums, Vulnicura saw no commercially released singles. Despite this fact, several versions of the song have been released across various media.
