Cannot add some artists via "Add new" menu by mbid.
For example:
lidarr:973d7c4c-11b6-4424-980a-eb9262a08589 (https://musicbrainz.org/artist/973d7c4c-11b6-4424-980a-eb9262a08589)
lidarr:485111e2-a1e8-4a46-bf3e-a073f005b28a (https://musicbrainz.org/artist/485111e2-a1e8-4a46-bf3e-a073f005b28a)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to 'Artist -> Add new'
Fill search with lidarr:973d7c4c-11b6-4424-980a-eb9262a08589
See no results

Expected behavior
Artist is found and can be added.
Even better would be if artists can be found by their names.

Screenshots

API seems to be down more generally, doesn't seem to be working for any artist

Which is a shame since I wanted to spend the day organizing the library... :-)
