FULL ON NIGHT is the fifth release by Rachel's on Quarterstick Records, and it pairs them with longtime friends M.C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel of Matmos. The song "Full on Night" originally appeared on Handwriting, Rachel's debut album, but in 1997, after the inevitable mutations that result from nightly improvisation, along with the addition of strings, organ and samples to the arrangement, the band decided an updated recording was in order. Due to the song's stubborn refusal to fit on an album side with other material, Rachel's approached Matmos about a collaborative project. Matmos, in their inimitable manner, combined the new studio masters and live recordings of the song to create "The Precise Temperature of Darkness," in which the original elements are taken radically out of context, processed, sliced apart and then fashioned into an intriguingly alien shape which still mimics the overall narrative flow of "Full on Night."
