Cold Sun, also known as Dark Shadows, was a United States psychedelic rock band from Austin, Texas. They recorded one album in 1970, which remained unreleased until 1989 when the Rockadelic label issued a limited vinyl edition of the album as Dark Shadows.

The band had a very distinctive sound, distinguished by the prominent use of electric auto-harp played by vocalist Bill Miller. Miller later joined former 13th Floor Elevators member Roky Erickson's band BleibAlien and is also featured on the 1979 CBS album by Roky Erickson & the Aliens.

The band's line-up included Hugh Patton playing drums, Bill Miller on vocals and electric autoharp, Tom McGarrigle playing guitar and Mike Waugh on bass guitar.

While in a different order on the 1989 release, the songs featured for release were originally organized in this fashion:

1. "South Texas" (Miller)
2. "Twisted Flower" (Miller)
3. "Here In The Year" (Miller)
4. "For Ever" (Miller)
5. "See What You Cause" (Miller)
6. "Fall" (Miller, Taylor)
7. "Ra Ma" (Miller, Mcgarrigle, Nelson)
