Folky, electronic-y, it's just a happy, different sounding album that doesn't get old. 
Destroyer's Destroyer's Rubies
Release Date: February 21, 2006

I fell in love with this album early this year and "Rubies" is one of the best singles of 2006, easily.
Annuals' Be He Me
Release Date: October 17, 2006
Label: Ace Fu Records
I got into this album a bit late (avoided the hype) but after seeing them live, this album became a favorite.
Most Serene Republic's Phages
Release Date: Early 2006
Label: Arts & Crafts
I blasted this album on my iPod while I was getting a cavaty filled in Mexico. It's noisy enough to make the drilling sound like part of the music.
Detektivbyrån's Hemvagen EP
Release Date: October 2006

Everyone will think of the Amelie soundtrack. Both are French pop instrumental and both will make you smile and ready for your day.

Label: Transdreamer
I love how dark this album gets.
Regina Spektor's Begin To Hope

Label: Sire
Right up there with Fiona Apple and Emily Haines with drop dead gorgeous vocals and melodies.
Plus/Minus' Let's Build a Fire

Easily accessible (love it on your first listen) yet still doesn't get old. These guys are going places.
Emily Haines' Knives Don't Have Your Back
Release Date: September 19, 2006
Label: Last Gang Records
A haunting and touching look into Emily Haine's mind over the past 7 years.
